2. Tuck your abdominals and inhale as you lower yourself (keep your torso two inches off the floor). Hold, then squeeze your chest muscles as you press up to the starting position.

Before moving on to the next exercise, boost your mood and burn some calories with a four-minute dance break. Put on your favorite dance CD or tape and cut loose for the next several minutes. C’mon, have fun! Not only will you burn calories, but you’ll release any stress that could be causing you to overeat. Dance through one song; if you’re motivated, what the heck — go for two! Then drink more water.


Heel Walk

Heel Walk

Sitting in the rolling chair — abs tucked, shoulders back — move yourself forward by digging your heels into the floor. Harder than you thought! Continue to locomote using your heels only for two minutes. Is your heart pounding? Mine was when I did this exercise. Quick, grab your glass of water and drink up. (You: “But, Jim, you always say this!” Me: “That’s because hydration is one of the most important keys to weight loss. So drink up!”)

Great for: Lower body, abdominals; Time: 2 minutes


Bridge, Starting Position

Bridge, Starting Position

1. Lie on your back, feet flat on the floor, knees bent, hands at your sides. (If you feel any tension in your neck, tuck your towel under your head for support.)

Great for: Abdominals, glutes, hamstrings; Number of reps: 12; Time: 2 minutes


Bridge, The Move

2. Inhale, then raise your bottom and your lower back off the floor as you exhale. Hold for one count. Slowly release, but don’t let your bottom touch the floor until you have completed all 12 repetitions. Focus on squeezing your glutes at the top of each rep.


Hamstring Curl, Starting Position

Hamstring Curl, Starting Position

1. Lie flat on your stomach with the ball between your ankles. Rest your head on your crossed arms. Squeezing the ball, lift your knees off the floor as high as you can, keeping your legs as straight as possible.

Hamstring Curl, The Move

2. Slowly bend your knees until your feet point toward the ceiling. Exhale as you curl up; inhale as you release. Note: Keep your knees off the floor at all times. If you feel strain in your lower back, rest for a moment, then resume the exercise.


Arm Extension, Starting Position

1. Roll up the towel lengthwise. Place one end in your left hand. Straighten your left arm directly over your head.

2. Now, reach behind your back with your right arm and grasp three quarters of the way down the towel. Gently pull the towel behind your head with your right arm, bending your left arm behind your head, so your elbow points straight up. Inhale, holding the towel steady. Exhale and extend your left arm back to starting position, keeping tension on the towel with your right arm. Repeat on the other side.
