Another fabulous way to squeeze exercise into while doing your weekly necessary grocery shopping. As Brigette Polmar says “This advanced move will have you grabbing great abs while grabbing your groceries!" We all want stronger abs to have a stronger core to make everything we do better including looking better for the upcoming swimsuit season.

Stand perpendicular to your cart facing the shelves with feet hip width apart and knees slightly bent. Engage your abs and push the cart away from you. Pull the cart back toward you using your arm and your oblique muscles (the abdominal muscles that run along the front and sides of your body). Your feet should not move. (See video.) Continue for at least one set of 12 on each side throughout your shopping trip.
