#10 - Keep it Fresh

When trying to stay motivated, find something new, like pole dancing. When you don't mix up your routine, you body will plateau. Pole dance I can burn 400-500 calorie per hour.

#9 – It's All in the Numbers

There's calories, weight body mass % calorie intake for mean and woman are different, woman 2000 calories or less, mean are 2500. as far as clothing size, different manufactures use different numbers if you are obese w/number, cut it out. you can be 9 another 12. buy a pedometer @ least $20 is more accurate, weight is a number get rid of the scale if it's too hard to deal with. go by how you feel, how clothes fit, getting stronger, are you happier.

#8 - Core Is Your Core

Your core, the entire mid section (stomach oblique's lower back), keeps you looking long and lean. To improve it, try Pilates. It creates a strong core, increases flexibility, balance and develops small muscles.

#7 - Drink it Down

Water that is. It is a fact, we can't live without water. Our body functions on water. It's made up of 70% of guess what? Water!

Over the course of a day we naturally lose 2 cups of water. Water increases your metabolism, optimizes digestion, is a natural appetite suppressant and during workouts it aids the muscles.

Try to drink 8 glasses of water a day m'kay? If that's too hard, try 4 large glasses

#6 – Rally the Troops

This year get a support group. Bonding with others makes you feel not so alone. You need people to encourage, keep you on track and challenge you. Why not have a fitness party with your best buds. Serve veggie and fruit dips. Make snazzy drinks like a Spatini (spring water and your favorite fruit served in a martini glass) or how about a Pom Fizz? Pear cider, pomegranate juice and sparkling water.

Hire a personal trainer and split cost w/friends.
