When you were out celebrating Pride or at the beach last weekend, did you feel good about showing off your stomach, or did you try to hide it?

I have great news for you! With this four minute workout video targeting your core muscles and tightening your abs, you can feel good about that new bikini you bought!

Do this quick, intense workout for your abs every other day for three weeks to lean up your stomach muscles and get ready to show them off!

San Diego is a hub for marathons, which is great if you’ve been training, but what if you decide last minute to try out your running legs?

Say you don’t necessarily consider yourself a runner, but are interested in challenging yourself … a great place to start is with the San Diego Pride 5k run, this year called Run and Stride with Pride.

Sometimes when you are working out alone, it is so easy to give up on that last rep or skip out on that last round. It’s times like these when a fitness partner would come in handy and keep you motivated enough to finish your workout to the very end.

Finding a workout partner can be a bit more difficult than it seems. Be sure to be very clear in what you want out of a partner and then seek them out.

You’re probably used to seeing six-pack abs on men, but have you ever seen how great they look on women, too?

Usually, six-pack abs are associated with bodybuilders who focus on bulking up with huge muscles and then getting ripped. Most workouts for women are focused on fat loss and toning, to look lean, not getting ripped.

The truth is, women can look lean and ripped, especially in the abdominals, without getting bulky. Women just need to turn up the intensity a bit higher.
