Now that swimsuit season is in full effect, women everywhere are working hard to look tip-top. I, for instance, am always looking for the latest and greatest workouts to help keep my abs under control.

Well, Fitness Magazine has introduced their Top 10 Ab Exercises that you can do just about anywhere. I have tried out 5 of these exercises just to give readers an inside look -- starting with the Abdominal Hold.This one I found pretty intense – especially in my arms. To do this workout you sit in a chair lift your feet 2-4 inches off the floor and then hold yourself off the chair. Verdict: if you don’t have arm strength, this may be pretty tricky. More Here...

You probably already know that a healthy diet lowers your risk for heart disease, diabetes and many kinds of cancer, such as breast and prostate cancers.

Science has made it possible to survive different types of cancer, and treatments like chemotherapy and proton radiation therapy, like the treatment provided at IU Health Proton Therapy are growing and becoming more effective. But eating healthy is a step in the right direction towards avoiding the disease. More Here...

Couples who work out together are possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. I have these points to prove it:

1)    Identical desire to workout plus identical free time: There is no way your lives are that compatible, unless you have no friends except for each other. Also if you think going on a jog is a 'cute date' then it's time to revisit traditional courting rituals.  Going out for dinner is not that uncool.

2)    8 A.M. exercise on a Saturday morning: The weekends are called weekends for a reason. Saturday morning is the perfect excuse, if one was ever needed, for a lie in. Why are you running when you could be having sex instead? Sex burns 150 calories an hour if you get into it. More Here...

“You’re STILL doing that? Isn’t she old enough to stop that? If she can ask for it, then she’s too old!” Yep, I’ve heard them all. My daughter is 13 months old so that means I have crossed the line into, no-mans land, a.k.a. Extended Breastfeeding.

I didn’t plan to breast feed past one year, shoot, I didn’t even know if I’d make it to six months! I’m not a co-sleeping, granola-crunching, attachment parent that people would expect to do something so “audacious” like breastfeed my toddler. I’m just a mom that wants to give my child the best of me.

Breastfeeding didn’t come easy for us. My milk took nine days to come in and my daughter didn’t latch on for nearly two weeks. It took lots of tears, persistence, and hours with Dr. Google to make it through those rough first months of nursing, but we made it. I fought so hard to give my baby the best food in the world, so why the hell would I stop giving to her because of what some ignorant people might say?

Do you prefer a male or a female gynecologist? And do gynecologists do head to toe exams?

I've read how some doctors examine their patients from head to toe and have them touch their toes while naked. I've also heard that head to toe exams happen in some schools and universities.

What is this truth on this?
