Hi, It's Donna Storm from MY 12 NOON WORKOUT. After years and years of running, teaching fitness classes, playing sports my left hip needed to be replaced. I put it off for 3 years and put up with the pain. Finally I knew I had to take care of it, but was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do all the things I did before. My job involves working out every day, I wanted to find the right doctor and the right hospital to have my surgery. After a long search and alot of disappointing consultations, I was referred to the experts at the Human Motion Institute at Abington Memorial Hospital. What a relief it was to be seen right away and how respectful they were of my time. Their staff was knowledgable, honest, to the point and explained everything to me. I knew I made the right decision. I had an amazing experience at Abington Memorial Hospital's Human Motion Institute. The education they provided before the surgery helped me to understand the surgery more and what to expect. The whole staff at Abington were professional, caring and made me feel comfortable the entire hospital stay. I am happy to report that my surgery was successful, I was back to my pain-free active life in a couple of weeks. Click here to learn more about Human Motion Institute at Abington Memorial Hospital.

Thanks for listening to My 12 NOON WORKOUT Question of the Week MaryEllen from doyelstown asks: I would love to do yoga, but do not have the time to take a class. I am not a group fitness person and would rather do it in the privacy of my own home. Can you suggest something? Yes. Doing yoga at home is a great idea and doesn't take much time. First, get your doctor's okay to do it and then grab a yoga mat and a sturdy chair. Set aside 15 minutes and here we go: Perform these exercises in order flowing from one to the next. Spinal twist this stretches out the back and abs and tones arms and shoulders Lie on your back with arms extended on the floor at shoulder height, palms down. Bring knees to chest, keeping knees together, exhale and lower legs to the left side. Turn your head to look over the right arm. Take several deep breaths, do the other side. Cat Cow Get on all fours, with knees directly below hips and hands directly below shoulders. Exhale. Tucking tailbone under, arch spine upward like a cat bringing chin toward chest. Inhale, tipping tailbone up and curving spine downward: look toward ceiling, expanding your chest. Repeat 5 times. Supported Downward Dog Stretches hamstrings, strengthens arms, legs, back and shoulders Stand in front of a sturdy chair with seat facing you. Bending foward from hips, put hands on back of seat and step back until arms are extended. Exhale and release chest toward floor, keeping back flat and shoulder blades pressed down. Reach gently foward, keeping head level between arms while keeping shoulder blades down. Hold for 3 to 5 breaths, then walk foward and gently roll up to standing. Tree Pose Strengthens Legs, butt, and hips and improves balance Stand with feet together palms in front of chest in prayer position at heart center.Fix you gaze on a spot to help balance. Inhale, placing bottom of right foot on inside of left calf or inner thigh, right knee pointing out to the side Hold and exhale pressing left foot into the floor, hold for 3 to 5 breaths and repeat on the other side. .

My Healthy Meal of the Week!
Crab Cakes
Ingredients:
Nonstick cooking spray
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Dash hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon crab boil seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1 scallion, including green top, finely chopped
1 pound lump crab, picked over for cartilage
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Smarter Tartar Sauce, recipe follows
Smarter Tartar Sauce:
6 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 scallion, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped sour pickles
1 tablespoon chopped capers
Spoon yogurt into a small bowl lined with paper towels. Place in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour until some of the liquid from the yogurt is released. Scoop thickend yogurt into a small bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.
Cooking Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium bowl mix together the egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning and hot sauce. Stir in the bell pepper and scallion. Gently fold in the crab, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs and salt and pepper to taste. Put the remaining bread rumbs in a shallow dish. Divide the crab mixture into 8 mounds. Shape 1 mound into a round and coat in bread crumbs. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and flatten the crab cake to form a patty about 1-inch high. Repeat to form the remaining crab cakes. Bake until golden on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Gently flip the crab cakes and cook until the second side is golden, 5 to 10 minutes longer.

Easy Ways to Walk Off 10+ Pounds
Find out how you can use a pedometer to your advantage

Smart pedometer wearers burn more than 100 extra calories a day, according to Stanford University research. That's up to 12 pounds a year! Here's how they do it:
Set goals
Walkers who aimed for 10,000 steps a day netted 4 times as many steps daily (about 1.15 miles more) as those who didn't try for a specific number.
Log your steps
Adults who jotted down their tally added an extra 1.25 miles of daily walking, while those who didn't keep tabs added less than half a mile.
Stay consistent
Regular wear is key to results. Try a device that can be worn with any outfit, like the Tanita Step 3 Axes pedometer ($35; tanita.com); it stores in your pocket or hangs on a lanyard.
