With cart in front of you and feet firmly planted hip width apart, engage your abs and push the cart forward far enough that your arms are extended, but your elbows are not locked.  Keep feet in place and use your abs to bring cart back toward you.  This movement originates from your abs with the help of your arms.  It is very important to keep your abs engaged throughout this challenging move.  If you feel any pain in your lower back, please discontinue this movement.  Work up to one set of 12 or more.

Are you resolving to eat better in 2010?  At SqueezeItIn we give you clever and effective ways to squeeze exercise into your daily routine, but we’re also on the hunt for great ways to help you squeeze in nutrition.  With that in mind, we asked  NeverSayDiet.com’s Karolina Starczak to share her favorite tips for squeezing more fiber into your diet.

Here’s the latest installment from Karolina’s series “Squeezing in Fiber Can Get Rough:”

One of fiber’s biggest perks is that it can’t find its way into our fat cells. Instead, it simply passes through, undigested. Now before you down that whole bag of celery, let’s explore the science behind fiber’s magic. When fiber enters the small intestine, it actually signals a hormone called CCK (cholecystokinin), whose job is to tell the brain that we are full. This is the “fullness” hormone that makes us put our fork down with ease. Usually this hormone is release when fat is being digested and suppresses our appetite, but it has been found that fiber has a similar affect, minus the calories.

We all know that making good choices at the grocery store means reading labels.  While making those good choices squeeze in some good moves with our Label Readers.

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.

Earlier this year we asked our Facebook Fans, “What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to ’squeezing in’ nutrition?” The “bulk” of your answers: Making fiber fit. So to “get things moving” we turned to NeverSayDiet.com’s Karolina Starczak who came up with weeks of “regular” fiber-filled guest blog posts. Here’s the first installment from her series “Squeezing in Fiber Can Get Rough:”

Fiber’s claim to fame may have started with “an apple a day”…, but if you’ve been keeping tabs on our dear old friend, then you probably know that it’s been popping up in everything from Splenda® to yogurt. Yep! Artificial sweeteners with fiber—a little over the top in my opinion, but it definitely places fiber in the supermarket hall of fame. So what’s the big deal with fiber and why is it bombarding store shelves everywhere?

Technically, fiber is a carbohydrate, but our bodies cannot break it down. Its resistance to our digestive enzymes gives it unique characteristics that benefit us in several ways and give this unbreakable carb health properties unlike any other nutrient. Not only can it lower cholesterol and the risk of diabetes, but it helps keep us fuller longer while keeping our digestive tracts healthy and regular.

This week’s Making Fiber Fit Tip from Karolina:

• Skip fruit and veggie juices. While juices can have plenty of vitamins and taste great, they lack the fiber of whole fruits and vegetables. A cup of apple juice only has 0.2 grams of fiber, but a whole crunchy apple can have about 5 grams, depending on the size.

Why not make the most of the heaviest items you buy at the grocery store and get great arms by the gallon with this two-in-one move?

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

Hold a gallon of milk, juice, or detergent down at your side. Slowly raise the gallon up and bring it toward your shoulder.  Slowly lower it back to starting position. Continue this exercise for at least 2 sets of 12 on each arm.

Variation: Tricep Press

Clutching the gallon, keep hand by your side and bend your elbow.  Keeping elbow bent extend the gallon straight back. Return to starting position. Keep this movement slow and controlled, focusing on using the tricep muscle to bring the gallon back and forth, not the momentum of the weight. Continue this exercise for 2 sets of 12 on each arm.
