For the record, I do BOTH of these. The first one in place of crunches on alternate days, and the second in place of medicine ball oblique exercises on alternate days. Just so’s you know that I practice what I preach!

oh good lord! im laughing so hard im tearing up — thanks for helping me start me workday with a smile! i think i may have to try your shopping workout tonight at the gym.
this totally kills me! i'm definitely trying these moves, they actually look–dare i say–fun?
a-hahahaha too cute and funny!
LOL – more power to you sal, at least you're getting some sort of exercise, which is more than i can say for myself…
out of curiosity, what dress size are you? i'm having a giveaway for a laundry by shelli segal dress that i could totally see you rocking…
Swwwweeeeeeetttt Sal!!! You are cracking me up!!!
Apparently, it's also important to have the "right" soundtrack for your exercises too! LOVES it!
1) I want your shoes.
2) Look at your eye make-up! OW OWW!!!
3) That is all.
"and that one's me reaching for a Chanel bag!"
"and that one… that one, is a pink pair of Loubous"
"and that… is a Viv Westwood… dress"
sounds like fun!
xx
Something tells me you're really good at specialized dance moves, like the sprinkler, for instance
You are hilarious, Sal! I love it!
And may I say, I am loving the new hair – it really shows your lovely face.
haha! You are so cute! Theanks for sharing your fun idea!!
that is great!! I love this very much.

That's hysterical! You must have great abs to do the oblique muscles with your legs up… I don't think I'm ready for that one yet.
And it never hurts to exercise to Simon and Garfunkel!!!!!
I love it! I like the raised-leg oblique crunches, though they kick my ass. I will try to remember them as a fun shopping move the next time I find myself (lovingly) cursing m,y trainer.
You are officially too adorable and hilarious.
I love this! Thanks for posting…I go to a Boot Camp class and the instructor is also my personal trainer, who drills us on the ab work! There's nothing fun about it, except maybe the music…
I love your shopping dance!
You are so amazing. This is awesome! I always look for ways to combine shopping and my sedentary, work-from-home lifestyle… Now to incorporate the laptop!
You are the best! You always make me smile.
Okay – I might consider exercise now…
Excellent work out music Sal, and so sweet to hear your voice!
xx
ps, I hate supermarket shopping. make up an exercise you can use in a vintage market, or Couture house..
Love this! You're the best.
TOOOOOO CUTE!!! I wish you would do more of these!
Sal, I have no words. You are way more AWESOME than I thought you were. Haha, loved this…and the camera loves you!

Nobody doubted you!

Cute! Maybe I'll add this to my workout routine!
I love this!!!
S.
You're adorable and fit! I did not know how you were going get from abs to shopping but you did
Hehe, that is so cute. They *are* good exercises. Another lower ab move that works well (though is more related to cooking than shopping) is what the instructor of my workout class calls "stirring the pot" – you start out on your back on the mat with your feet on the floor & knees up, but they need to be hip distance apart. Then you put your hands together and make very broad circular "stirring" motions between your knees so that you are lifting & lowering your shoulderblades, using your abs to move you around.
It works for me! Nice read…
Love doing ab work! Fun video . . .
You are so brilliant! I have a hard time doing exercises when they are just dull and repetitive, but doing the shopping cart!? Totally fun!
wow, the shopping cart… you are way too cute Sal (and I'll do ANYTHING to avoid doing crunches!)
You're wearing make-up! Also, those actually DO look like fun.
