Q: The transverse abdominus muscles act like an inner-girdle, wrapping around the sides of your waist. A great exercise for working the transverse abdominus is a basic forearm plank. Begin with your forearms and knees on the ground, with your arms shoulder-width apart. Press up into a forearm plank, keeping your body in one straight line. Hold for 10 seconds, then rest for a few. Repeat this 4 or 5 times. For this exercise you will need a set of dumbbells. Lie down on your back and raise your arms (with weights) in the air (perpendicular to your body). Raise your arms over your head, and bring them back to the starting position. Keep your core engaged the whole time. Dumbbell pullovers can be done with weights anywhere from 3 to 12 lbs (1.3 - 5.4 kg). Select the weight that works best for you. Do 2-3 sets of 10. In addition to strengthening your transverse abdominus, you will want to tone your obliques to achieve a slim waist. To do this, perform dumbbell side bends. Stand up straight with your feet a bit wider than hip-distance. Hold a dumbbell in one hand. Bend to that side, bringing the dumbbell toward your knee. Then return to your starting position. Perform three sets of 10. Once again, select the weight that is best for you. In order to reveal your slim, toned waist muscles you will also need to do a little cardio. Anything that raises your heart rate will work, and if it engages your core while doing so, then even better! Try to do 30 minutes of cardio 2-3 times per week. Some options include: Biking Running Hula-hooping Dancing
A: Practice forearm plank. Perform dumbbell pullovers. Do some dumbbell side bends. Do some cardio.

Article: You can use any kind of thicker fillet (salmon, halibut, bass, snapper etc.) Or you can use a cleaned and scaled whole fish. Lay your fish in a lightly oiled glass dish with a lid. If you are working with several fillets, you can overlap them in the dish. If you'd like, you can start an easy side to cook while your fish is cooking in the microwave. Put some rice in a rice cooker and turn it on. Try basmati or jasmine rice. Or, get your water boiling for couscous. Try salting the couscous water and adding a little butter or oil. Here comes the fun part. What kind of flavor are you craving? You can easily season your fish with any of the recommendations below, or create your own seasoning. Don't worry about basting the fish perfectly, just glob your seasoning on! A few dashes of coconut milk, cloves, a clove of diced garlic, fresh or dried basil, cilantro, sliced chives, and lemon juice. Lemon or limejuice, sliced green onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. A pinch of ground cumin, a clove of diced garlic, sliced sweet onion, cilantro, salt, and pepper. A splash of soy sauce, a splash of sesame oil, grated ginger, a dash of rice wine, and sesame seeds. Cover your dish with a lid and place it in the microwave for 4-5 minutes depending on the thickness of your fillets. Use a fork to carefully test the doneness of your fish by gently flaking away at the meat. If the meat is white (or barely opaque) and flakes easily, the fish is done. Combine your fish with a side of rice, couscous, salad, or whatever you prefer, and enjoy!

Q: Having a daily routine is important for dogs of any age, but it's especially important for younger dogs. A puppy can typically only hold his bladder for one hour per every month of age, meaning that young puppies may need to go outside once every hour. It's best to establish a routine as quickly as possible with your dog to ensure that he doesn't have any problems. In addition to the correlation between number of months of age and number of hours a puppy can wait to go out, it's also important to let your dog out first thing in the morning, during or after play time, and after he's eaten a meal or drank a lot of water. This time also refers to the maximum length of time he can hold on (i.e. at night). When house breaking a puppy, it is important to offer him a toilet break every 20- 30 minutes for training purposes. Whether you walk your dog or let him outside in a fenced-in enclosure, it's important for your dog to have a routine spot where he urinates. This can be a tree that you pass near your home, or a certain spot in the yard. Whatever spot your dog chooses, it's important to let him always have access to that spot while you are training him to urinate outdoors.

Keep your dog on a bathroom schedule. Let your dog have a designated bathroom spot.
