By just spending a few minutes a day in the comfort of your own home you can quickly do some easy exercises to improve your fitness.
Bum Squeeze
You can do this exercise not just while watching TV, but practically anywhere. All you do is tighten and squeeze your buttocks and hold it for a few seconds, then release. Do this 5 to 10 times a day, and you will have a firmer bum in no time.
Back Twists
This exercise is great for stretching out your back. Just sit with both feet on the floor. Looking straight ahead, slowly tilt to the right as you reach around behind yourself with your right hand. Hold it there for a few seconds, and then do the same with your left hand. Repeat this 8 to 10 times.
Belly Twists
This exercise is great for those who sit at desks all day. Start standing, with your feet shoulder width apart. Hold your bent elbows down at your sides, and lean slightly forward. Twist side to side with your elbows leading the movement. Repeat this 10 to 20 times.
Bum Crunches
This exercise will help your back and belly. Lie on your back with your feet up on a chair. Then slowly lift your bum up, and bring it back down. Do about 10 of these.
ABS
Does your tummy need a tune-up? These next few exercises will help you to tune up those abs.
Sit Ups
One of the oldest exercises around, sit ups are great for toning those tummy muscles. Just make sure that your feet are properly anchored, and you support your neck well with your hands.
Basic Crunches
Crunches are exercise that you can do anywhere, and you don't need someone to hold your feet. Lie on your back like you're doing sit ups, but bring your head and feet up together in short, fast moves. Do 5 to 10 of these.
Slow Crunches
Slow crunches are much like basic crunches, except well they're slower and they burn a bit more. Get in the same position as basic crunches, and do a full crunch. Now, very slowly, straiten yourself out, without touching your feet to the floor, and hold for 3 seconds. This will burn, so only do 5 or 6 to start out.
Abs Push Ups
This exercise really works those tummy muscles. Start facedown on the floor, with your legs extended. Lean on your elbows, which should be in line with your shoulders.
Now lift your body from the floor using only your abs, supported by your arms and toes. Do this 5 to 10 times.

Ask Jesus and He Shall Give You The Desires Of Your Heart
By: Allan Wilson | 05/11/2009 | ReligionIt is an interesting study when looking at the word ask in the Bible. Jesus encourages us to ask and at first we might think well of course we ask Jesus for things all the time but when we honestly contemplate it there are things like pride and fear that do prevent people from asking Jesus or anyone else for that matter for assistance.
The Wonderful Ye Shall Promises Of God Bible Affirmations
By: Allan Wilson | 30/10/2009 | ChristianityI love exploring certain word phrases within the scriptures and today while looking at the phrase (ye shall) it opened the door to some amazing promises of God and Bible affirmations.

It Is Your Responsibility and Your Choice
By: Allan Wilson | 29/10/2009 | ReligionIt's always your choice. Think about the reverse side of what is being said in some of these scriptures. If you want to really get the rewards in life love your enemies. On the surface that sounds so hard but when you do it releases you from so much bondage and gives you so much power it's amazing.
Healing Affirmations
By: Allan Wilson | 29/10/2009 | ReligionThere is no better healing affirmation then the word of God itself. Go through every scripture related to healing and print them out and read them and re-read them. Sow them into your heart and be wonderfully uplifted by all of the healings Jesus performed. Stick healing verses beside your bed so they are the first thing you look at in the morning and the last thing you see at night.
Christian Positive Thinking
By: Allan Wilson | 29/10/2009 | ReligionSet your affection encompasses not just the thinking but your feelings as well. Your cravings and your desire should be on things above. Your opinions, your wisdom, your modesty and your perceptions should all be based on things from above.
How Christian's Can Replace Negative Thinking with Positive Thinking
By: Allan Wilson | 28/10/2009 | ReligionThere are some wonderful stories of how Biblical affirmations have assisted many people to achieve success and happiness in life. You will find more positive affirmations in the Bible than all of the self help books combined and when you dive into the wonderful word of God you will soon be over powered by just how much God loves you and what lengths he has gone to for you to have a more abundant life.
Self Esteem For Christians
By: Allan Wilson | 28/10/2009 | ReligionGet the balance right. Just as you don't want to think of yourself more highly than you should because it is Christ Jesus that gives you the victory not you then also stop thinking less of yourself then you should because it is Christ Jesus that gives you the victory not you.
Positive Self Talking For Christians
By: Allan Wilson | 27/10/2009 | ReligionOur brain is very powerful however if we just let it run in auto-pilot continually rehashing negativity into our lives we will continue to experience the things we don't want. We need to make a conscious effort to train our brains to be more positive.
