Core
Core Shredding:
Step 1 - Find your Transverse Abdominis (TVA), the body's natural weight belt. Stand in a relaxed position, inhale deeply into your gut. Exhale slowly, trying to squeeze your breath out of your abdomen, by pressing your abdominal muscles to the rear at the end of the breath. When you have completely exhaled, keep your abs tight, repeat the process. This is your transverse abdominis in action.

Plank - the basic plank position is like the UP position of a push-up, only on your elbows. Assume the down position of the push-up, then activate your TVA as you lift your body up onto your toes and elbows. Keep your back straight, and your hips aligned, NO SAGGING! Shoot for one minute. For an advanced Plank, use a large inflatable fitness ball as the platform for your elbows.

Oblique Twist - Holding a heavy object, such as a 10lb medicine ball, phone book, or weight plate to your chest, assume the up position of a sit-up on the floor. Lean back slighty and twist to one side, trying to touch your heavy object to the floor by your buttocks. Return to center, then try to touch the floor on the opposite side, return to center again for one rep. Try to get 12. When you are able to do a lot more of these, try to perform the same movement with your feet slightly elevated.

Flutter Kicks - Lay flat on your back and with straight legs, lift your feet about 18 inches off of the ground. "Scissor" your legs by alternately lowering each foot, one at a time to just barely above the floor, then back up. See if you can keep it up for 1 minute.

Crunches - Lay on your back, pull your heels in toward your butt, cross your arms over your chest, then try to touch your arms to a spot on the front of your leg a few inches below your knee by curling your torso up. These are not intended to be complete sit-ups, which target the hip flexors more than the abs! Relax back onto the floor. See how many you can get in one minute. You can also perform this same movement while sitting on an fitness ball.

Sugar-free gum?
I was wondering if anyone knows of a sugar-free gum that does not contain glycerol or mannitol? I'm currently starting Week 2 of Atkins Induction, and I've read in several guides, and forum posts here to avoid both. I LOVE my Extra Sugar Free, but right there in the ingredients (of my favorite flavor Sweet Watermelon), number 3 and number 4: Glycerol and Mannitol. I lost six pounds during the first week of Induction, and it doesn't mess with my digestion. Does anyone care to weigh in on sticking (no puns intended, seriously) with Extra, or can you recommend an alternative?

Swimming vs. Running for cardio?
I have had more success losing weight while swimming for cardio. It requires more specialized gear than running, but you can vary your stroke to match your abilities, and I feel like it is easier on my knees.
