Wear a Pedometer
Eat five minimeals (300-400 calories each).
Log your food choices before you eat.
Drink at least six 8-ounce glasses of cold water

Three times a week

Lift weights, doing multi-muscle moves such as chest presses. (For free routines, go to Fat Burning Dumbbell Workouts.)
Rest no more than 20 seconds between sets while strength-training.

Whenever you exercise

Snack before your workout (see Eating Healthy for suggestions).
Schedule exercise before a meal so you eat within a half hour of finishing your workout.
Track your heart rate during cardio.

Weekly
Change one move in your workout routine every Monday. For example, swap push-ups for chest presses one week, lunges for squats the next, and so on.

Plan an active outing such as hiking.

The engine is burning……..what do you think?
