15 min belly blasting workout - Every woman can end up with a belly pooch due to underworked lower abdominal muscles. This workout will tap into the deep abdominal muscles—the transverse abdominis—that pull in your waistline like a corset. Do these moves one after another with no rest in between. Then repeat the circuit so you're performing it a total of two times.

Easy, effective thigh and hip exercises. I prefer to do them with ankle weights on.

“Shame is not a catalyst for change; it is a paralytic. Anyone who has ever carried extreme personal shame knows this. Shame doesn’t make you stronger, nor does it help you to grow, or to be healthy, or to be sane. It keeps you in one place, very, very still.” bit.ly/xJhGPr

"This is a mood-boosting yoga routine based on postures that have been shown to help stabilize mood: A 2004 pilot study from UCLA examined how three types of postures — standing, forward bends, and back bends — affected mood in adults. The findings suggest that yoga, particularly back bends, increased confidence and decreased negativity. Larson suggests repeating this 20- to 30-minute routine twice a week, taking time to breathe into each pose and to relax at the end." Full routine here: bit.ly/wkg8LJ

Idea: Put a dollar in a jar every time you complete a workout. When you reach a certain goal, treat yourself to a reward.

There's something to be said for even trying at all. Now, get off the couch.

A doctor's challenge: Can you limit your sitting & sleeping to just 23 1/2 hours a day? Turns out there's a pretty amazing "return on investment" for just getting off your butt and walking for 30ish minutes a day.
