The Stars' Secrets To A Great Body!

                     Bikini Ready For June!

With bathing suit season almost here, it's still not too late to 
get into some type of shape. If you think special equipment 
and time are something you really need to get into shape, 
you're wrong. 
Wrong? 
Yes, according to new research, a 5 to 10 min. exercise session 
two to three times a day is all you really need. 
And if you need to target a specific spot, follow the examples of 
some of your favorite stars. 
So, look below, find the body part you need help with and the stars 
solutions for fixing it.
1- The Waist.
Chisel your waist with a tip from a former "Days of Our Lives"star,

the exercise: Rebounding. You may know it as trampolining and the star 
who uses this form of exercise is Lisa Rinna. The 50 yr. old mom of 2, burns
more calories in 15 minutes than she would running for 30 mins. 

The continuous bouncing action engages the obliques (the muscles 
that wrap around the torso and pull in the waist) as your body 
works to stay balanced. Look for a mini-trampoline that's sturdy
and durable. 
2- Shoulders- 
Some women shy away from doing shoulder work for fear it 
may make them look like men. Ladies, the exercise you need to 
do will not require any weightlifting. 
The exercise: Jumping Rope. The childhood game  is a great way to
keep shoulders toned. And the star who loves this exercise is a "Housewife
From New York" aka Kelly Killoren Bensimon.
Often thought of as an aerobic exercise, this exercise requires that you 

hold onto the rope and that holding on is what builds up the shoulder muscles.
Buy a good quality jump rope and start with 30 secs. and move up to
a min. or two a day.
3- Stomach-
A problem area for a lot of women (and men) and to flatten it, you
may want to do the exercise that a "Hunger Games" star does.
What is the exercise? Kettle Bells And the star? Elizabeth Banks. 

The 40 yr. star loves to work out with kettlebells.
If you think weightlifting burns calories, kettlebelling burns about 

60% more. Swinging weights as opposed to lifting them provides
you with a momentum that works every muscle in your body. 

Plus, the swinging requires muscle control and that also helps 
develop muscle and burn calories.
Are you ready to give it a try?
Well, it's best you go to someone who's well versed in kettlbell
training or head to Youtube.com and type how to use Kettlebells
in the search bar. Doing it on your own may result in serious injuries.
4- A Tighter Bum-
In the U. K. it's called a bum and in the U.S. it's called a caboose,
junk, tailfeather, an apple, an onion, you get the idea.
Women are actually risking their lives and bank accounts to have
their rear ends plumped up, reshaped and tightened.
And the one star who doesn't want any part of the bigger and shapelier
rear is none other than Kelly Ripa.
During her first yr. of doing Live Regis and Kelly, she complained quite
a bit about her big rear and now she's gone (some say too far) to great lengths
to change it. Her exercise of choice: Jump Squats.
The explosive movements engages the lower body, especially all areas
of the rear end. And to make it more effective, raise your arms
while doing it. If a smaller rear end is something you want, make sure 

to warm up beforehand. Like kettlebells, doing jump squats without
warming up may cause serious injury.
To get started, Stand with feet hip-width apart and bend both knees to lower
into a squat. From the squat position, push off the balls of your feet into
a jump, straightening your legs in the air if you can. Finish up by landing
softly on the balls of your feet. Continue for 30 secs.
And if you want more tips on how to shape your rear end, go to
Instagram and type in Jen Selter. She's become an internet star thanks
to her shapely hind quarters.
5) The Thighs-
Another problem area women complain about and to get them into shape, 

do the high knee exercises that the former Dancing With The Stars' host
uses. Brooke Burke-Charvet does this exercise a few times a week.
This is a high-energy move that gives you a long, lean look from your

hips to your toes. Doing this move requires your legs to move up rapidly
and that tones every muscle in the legs, including the calves, hamstrings,
quadriceps and the inner and outer thighs.
To do this exercise...Stand tall and quickly march in place, raising
your knees as high as you can. Do this for 30 to 60 secs.
And as you get stronger, do it longer and add a 2 lb. hand weight
(for each hand).

That's it- 5 exercises to get you the dream body you always wanted.

Good Luck!

Sport Illustrated's Rx For A Lean and Toned Body!

                               Get Fit Like A Swimsuit Model! 

Are you a fan of the "supermodel" edition of Sports Illustrated? 

Apparently, a lot of people are and one of the models who graced the cover
spills her simple diet secrets, that will work for any woman, man or teenager.

The "Supermodel" is Marisa Miller, and she was discovered on a beach. 

Ms. Miller is what you call "healthy looking" and she prefers her body, 
to that of the stick-pin figures you usually see.
So, how does Ms. Miller keep her body in tip-top shape?

a) She eats in the nude. It's safe to say, she probably doesn't dine out a 
lot. Ms. Miller says seeing yourself totally nude and eating while nude, 
makes you more aware of what you put into your body.
You can also see your stomach expanding and getting uncomfortable as well. 

This tip may work for a couple, a couple who doesn't have kids.
b) She prepares ahead of time. She keeps a few servings of brown rice
or quinoa (to learn more about quinoa, go to Supermarkets@typepad.com
and look for Dr. Oz's Rx for a super grain). She'll take out some rice
and stir-fry some rice along with a few vegetables.
c) Want a snack eat a snack- Ms. Miller had a hard time avoiding
all of the fattening snacks at Whole Foods, but then she saw cookies,
or pie slices wrapped individually. She decided, why try to fight it, 

she'll buy a few cookies or a slice of cake and eat only one serving at a time,
and thoroughly enjoy it. Put the rest of the goodies in the freezer, and take out
one cookie or one cupcake.
d) Give In...Sometimes- Marissa gained weight in the beginning of her
relationship to her now husband, he likes beef, beer and big slabs
of cake. Ms. Miller knew she couldn't keep up that pace, so now,
she sets aside a day in which she and her husband will go out for
steak, onion rings and a pitcher of beer. She says "That since I
eat well 90% of the time, I could splurge on cake or an 8 oz. steak
10% of the time."

That's it- some simple tricks from a top swimsuit model to help 

you look swimsuit ready all yr. round.

Good Luck!

The Biggest Loser's Rx For A Healthy Heart!

                           A Food Rx For A Healthy Heart!
NBC's big hit-"The Biggest Loser" is already back for another season,
just in time to help viewers get in shape for Spring and Summer.

One of the most popular segments is when they teach the participants
how to cook and prepare food-without all of the fat and calories.
One dessert they gave the participants (on a past show)
was not only great tasting, but heart healthy as well.

The dessert: "Biggest Loser Raisin' the Bar Brown Rice Pudding!"

Rice Pudding good for you? Absolutely!
In fact, eating brown rice (not white) can help keep harmful plaque
from attaching to delicate artery walls. And less plaque means a lower
chance of having a heart attack.
So, look below, and make this less harmful decadent dessert
for family and friends.

The Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
1 1/4 cups cooked short-grain brown rice*
1 cup fat-free evaporated milk, 12 oz. can
1/3 cup light agave nectar
2 omega-3 eggs, lighlty beaten
2 tbsps. cornstarch
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins
*Soak the brown rice in cold water for 30 to 60 mins. before cooking-why?
Soaking causes the rice to germinate, which more than doubles the
concentration of nutrients, minerals, fiber and antioxidants.

The Directions:
Place medium nonstick pot over medium heat.
Add fat-free milk, rice, evaporated milk, agave nectar,
eggs, cornstarch, and vanilla to pot. Cook mixture, stirring
constantly, about 5 to 7 mins. or until thickened to consistency
of a thick gravy (but not as thick as a pudding); it will thicken slightly
even more when refrigerated.
Divide mixture evenly among 8 (1/2 cup)  or 4 (1 cup)
ramekins or custard cups. Divide raisins among them.
Allow to cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate
ramekins for about 4 hrs. or overnight. And just before
serving, stir the rice pudding to distribute raisins evenly.
