this is not a diet-or a rigorous exercise program. (Nobody can stick to those for long.) Instead, it's a simple way to make weight loss a natural part of the life you already live. ਭ澒줔풙鬅篑http://bulo.hjenglish.com/myfeed/©版权所有沪江网篑鬅풙줔澒ਭAnd guess what? It's fun! You don't
have to give up the foods you love or join a gym. It's about balancing calories in tiny ways that add up to big benefits. You just adopt some tricks naturally lean people do. Pick the ones you like, stick with them, and you'll slim down and tone up-for good!

1. Wake-up workout
When your eyes open, sit up slowly without using your h㙦婅轔锁쑅ᓄ덴http://bulo.hjenglish.com/event/©版权所有沪江网덴ᓄ쑅锁轔婅㙦ands. With legs straight out, lean forward until you feel a gentle stretch in your back and hamstrings. Hold; then, using your abs, lower yourself flat. Rest and repeat two more times. Strengthens core

2. Go for the grains
Not ready for Twigs & Rocks cereal? Sprinkle on a few tablespoons of wheat germ or oat bran. Work up to 3⁄4 cup of lowsugar whole-grain cereal with at least three grams of fiber per serving, 롅犹鶷㺇ﾏ⎐ᵣhttp://bulo.hjenglish.com/q/©版权所有沪江网ᵣ⎐ﾏ㺇鶷犹롅and you'll pass on that Danish

3. Add some protein
The more you eat earlier on, the less you eat as the day wears on, research has shown. So after your cereal, add a hard-boiled egg or a part-skim mozzarella cheese stick to keep you feeling full-and away from that pre-lunch brownie.

4. Balance booster
While you brush your teeth, alternate standing on one leg as you switch mouth quadrants (every 30 seconds). Balancing develops your core muscles 鯏ඞ㮪⬤ᡦ㷼㛞笛http://bulo.hjenglish.com/podcast.htm©版权所有沪江网笛㛞㷼ᡦ⬤㮪ඞ鯏and may even be good for your brain.

5. Be a ballerina
As your coffee drips, stand sideways, put one hand on the counter, 挠↰뚐눗夊嘧http://www.hjbbs.com/©版权所有沪江网嘧夊눗뚐↰挠and lift the outside leg straight out in front of you, keeping it extended. With upper body straight, hold for a few seconds and move it to the side; hold and extend it behind you. Do five to ten times on each leg. Tones outer thighs, hip flexors 郍鶠༺剼⩮ࣴ沪江四六级欢迎您!©版权所有沪江网ࣴ⩮剼༺鶠郍and quadriceps.

6. Coffee saver
Instead of pouring that 1⁄3 cup of half-and-half (a whopping 105 calories!) into your mug, replace it with the same amount of 2% milk

7. Better your bagel
You can walk 10,000 steps to justify your 500- calorie bagel with cream cheese, or try this: low-fat spreadable cheese like Laughing Cow Light on an English muffin.

8.Tone in traffic
Use the time spent bumper-to-bumper to develop your buns of steel: Squeeze your derrière each time you tap the brake, holding for 10 seconds. Shoot for 10 to 15 squeezes a trip.

9. Snack smarter
Portion out the day's snacks into pint-size zip bags, or buy single-serving portions. For example, four regular Oreos have 200 calories versus the 100-calorie snack bag version. Go for the lower
fat chips: a Lay's Light bag has only 75 calories, while the regular has 150.

10. Casual day payoff
You will blast more calories during the day wearing comfy clothes like jeans or khakis, sport shirts and soft-soled shoes than donning constricting suits, skirts 업캿⚣ᇓ癤http://bulo.hjenglish.com/menu.htm©版权所有沪江网癤ᇓ⚣캿업and heels. Why? Because you walk more, a study found. Now you just have to convince the boss.

11. You know squat
At your desk chair, pretend you're going to sit but don't-stop and come back up without using your arms. Always start squats by lowering your hips, not bending knees forward, and keeping your weight on your heels. Repeat the motion throughout the day (even at the potty!) for 15 to 20 total. Strengthens quadriceps. Burns 15

12. Switch your soda
Your body doesn't register calories from liquids the same way it does those from foods, so you won't get those "stop eating" signals to help you compensate for the overload later on. Change from two glasses of regular soda or fruit juice to diet soda or a flavored seltzer.

13. Talk it UP
Every time you grab the phone, st틭䨀㝝鮖甌䧠儥http://bulo.hjenglish.com/goal.htm©版权所有沪江网儥䧠甌鮖㝝䨀틭and up and pace around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more per day than thin people, according to the Mayo Clinic.

14. At lunch, pick a pita
Use one mini whole-wheat pita instead of the usual two slices of white or refined wheat bread for your sandwich.

15. Get face time
We use e-mail so much we've forgotten what our co-workers look like. Pick a colleague or two who sits farthest from you ╙孿ՃⲜ좚㮿뛚http://bulo.hjenglish.com/group.htm©版权所有沪江网뛚㮿좚ⲜՃ孿╙and deliver 10 of those daily messages in person. And go out of your way: Hit a bathroom or a copier on another floor-and take the stairs, of course.

16. Firm as you file
Pause from your papers with a few wall push-ups. Place h둣ဎᎢ薠㡱좪멘http://bulo.hjenglish.com/myfeed/©版权所有沪江网멘좪㡱薠Ꭲဎ둣ands wide at shoulder height against the wall. Take a couple of steps back so your body is at a slight angle and your weight is on your toes, and do three sets of 10 push-ups. Strengthens chest 썧൮ꉪ欜斗ꔇ桬念http://cet.hjenglish.com©版权所有沪江网念桬ꔇ斗欜ꉪ൮썧and triceps. (For more desk exercises, go to changeone.com/workout.)

17. An apple (or more) a day
They're packed with fiber and water, so your stomach will want less. Plus, studies out of Washington State and Brazil have shown that people who eat at least three apples or pears a day lose weight. Try two small apples 켒脂ᱫ咰쮀旅Ꟊ�http://www.yeshj.com/©版权所有沪江网�Ꟊ旅쮀咰ᱫ脂켒and two fewer large cookies.

18. Try a simple chair workout
• Dips: If your chair has wheels, brace it against something. Facing forward, place palms on the front edge of the seat with knees bent at a right angle. Lower butt toward the floor; raise and repeat for two sets of 10. Tones triceps.
• Lifts: Seated in a chair with your back straight and your feet on the floor, squeeze knees together 杫⦭팚㧻玁http://bulo.hjenglish.com/podcast.htm©版权所有沪江网玁㧻팚⦭杫and gently bring them toward your chest. Do two sets of ten. Strengthens abdominals.

19. Carry some weight
When you're grocery shopping or running errands, wear a backpack with a 5- or 10-pound bag of sugar inside to increase resistance and burn more calories. Add purchases to your load as it becomes easier. (for an hour of errיִ뫶뎅ཉ鄙�岰兆http://bulo.hjenglish.com/event/©版权所有沪江网兆岰�鄙ཉ뎅뫶יִands)

20. Tweak your treat
Instead of a large caffè latte and a chocolate cream-cheese muffin, get a small nonfat latte and a small low-fat raisin or carrot muffin.
