Shape Sexy Arms
Weighted boxing jabs,dumbell kickbacks and this move,he says do the trick.

Overhead Dumbell press :

Sit on an exercise ball holding a dumbbell in each hand. Raise dumbbells to head level, placing your arm at 90-degree angles with palms forward. Keeping your back straight and feet firm on ground, press the dumbbells straight up overhead, and give your shoulder muscle a little squeeze at the top. Return to goalpost position. Do three set of 15-30 reps.

Balance out your body
If you tone and definte your shoulders, your hips and waist immediately look smaller.To pump up the volume up top, he recommands moves like biceps curls and dumbbell kickbacks. Top-heavy? Concentrate on leg lifting while wearning ankle weights to add shape to your lower half. The ultimate effect will be an hourglass figure.

Make working out Job One.
If you can't wake up early to work out for 90 minutes. Go for a higher intensity session, like sprints on a threadmill or jumping rope for a minimum of 30 minutes at some point in the day. "five minutes of jumping rope equals to two miles of running".

Eat Power foods
Eating fresh produce, wheter it comes from a garden or a farmers' market or is shipped from a local farm. Can't get those, get the chilly aisle of your supermarket. Frozen vegetables are harvested and frozen at the peak of freshness to help retain nutriments.

Get healthy with home cooking

Try steaming some zucchini with olive oil and salt to put fresh vegetables on the table, or whip up pancakes with olive oil instead of butter. "gazpacho : tomatoes, cucumbers,peppers,salt,olive oil and a touch of vinegar". Takes less then 5 minutes.

Give yourself a break.
You can eat taht cheeseburger once in a while. Denying yourself this saying that you would never eat any of these kind of food again is setting yourself up fo rfailure. It's not about eliminating these food from your diet but be a want a smart dinners, not on a regular basis.

It also said to try a Bodyblade (bodyblade.com) or exercise ball to work out your abs instead of doing regular sit-ups.
