There are plenty of stomach exercises out the for those who want to shape their core and strengthen their midsection. This may be both a blessing and a curse. It is easy to find plenty of exercises and routines that work the midsection, but how does one know which ones are any good? Well, listed here are what appear to be some of the best around, according to recommendations by fitness experts. If you want to work on your stomach, but are not sure where to start, then this "all-star team" may be a good jumping off point. As with any workout routine, be sure to consult a professional before beginning and always warm up properly to avoid injury.

Crunchless Crunch
Regular crunches are great for working the rectus abdominus (the muscles at the front of your stomach), but they do very little for the transverse abdominal muscles deeper in the midsection, plus they tend to put strain on your back and neck. This first exercise corrects that, working the transverse muscles with no back or neck strain. Essentially, it involves trying to pull the belly button in towards the spine. This can be tricky, as it involves using muscles which you may not be used to activating. To start, either lie or on your stomach or kneel. You might want to try both ways and see which helps you feel the exercise better. Relax your body as much as possible, then try to use only the lower abdominals to move your belly button toward your spine. Hold for ten seconds. If holding for ten seconds feels easy, hold for a longer period. The goal is to hold the contraction until you either cannot feel it, or you feel other muscles working harder than the transverse abdominus. When you feel this, let the contraction out.

Hip Lift
Remain on your back for this stomach exercise. Put your arms at your sides with palms facing up to the ceiling. Put your legs straight up in the air so that the soles of your feet are facing the ceiling and your legs make about a ninety degree angle with your torso. Keep your knees unbent and as straight as possible. Now, contract your ab muscles so that it feels like your belly button is being pulled toward your spine, while at the same time gently lifting your hips off the floor. Raise your hips to height of a few inches, keeping your legs extended straight upward. Hold this position, then slowly lower your hips back to the floor. Repeat for an entire set.

Brad Callen has done it again! This is one of the best google keyword tools I've seen in a long time. It gives you the ability to analyze the google adwords campaigns listed to the right side of your browser window. Before you would read the ad and then if you were interested in knowing more you'd have to click on the link to go to the offer page and in the process the person bidding on the adwords would be charged so much money whenever their link is click on. This keyword tool actually shows you the link of the offer page and the person paying for the ad is not charged!

As a side benfit after you click on the View keywords box under the ad, on the right side at the top of the screen the PPC Web Spy tool lists the keywords the person is using in his campaign, the position of his ad, the average cost per click (CPC), the number of clicks per day and the cost of the ad. Another great feature is if you click on the underlined keyword it will show you another ad with the keyword in it that the person is using in another google campaign. This is a great tool as you can see the many campaigns a particular person is using.

There is also a suggest tool for an even greater number of keyword ideas. This tool is viral because it is a free tool and you can give the link to many people.
