fitness feature (page 174), is a perfect example of this. A no-nonsense, high-energy regimen based on easyto-master moves, it will flatten your abs, lift your butt, and firm your upper body in as little as three weeks. Meanwhile, our food story, “In Praise of Pears” (page 182), invites you to take a fresh look at a perennial fall favorite. You may already enjoy this antioxidant- and fiber-packed fruit, but these deliciously creative (and waistlinefriendly) takes on the farmers’ market staple elevate it to new culinary heights. And speaking of stepping it up, you can give your hair, skin, and makeup a boost by updating your beauty essentials.

Our cover model, Maria Menounos, knows a thing or three about getting back to basics. An avid gardener and passionate chef, she uses her own backyard harvest to cook up healthy meals. When it comes to fitness, the on-the-go TV host, journalist, and author of The EveryGirl’s Guide to Diet and Fitness keeps it simple as well— with her crazy-busy schedule, Maria (pictured with Shape editor-atlarge Bahar Takhtehchian) relies on exercise bands to stay slim and toned. Turn to her do-anywhere workout on page 32 and discover how to target all your major muscles in a mere 10 minutes. Like we said, sometimes there are big rewards when you go back to basics.

THE HOT LIST WHAT WE’RE OBSESSED WITH RIGHT NOW.

By Mallory Creveling

INSPIRING WOMEN Dominating the world (or at least their corner of it) is second nature to the female trailblazers highlighted in the documentary series Makers: Women Who Make America. The first of six installments—focusing on comedy—premieres on PBS and AOL September 30 at 9 p.m.

Other “frontiers” include Hollywood, space, politics, business, and war, and feature Sheryl Sandberg and U.S. Air Force pilot Major MJ Healy (shown).

HIIT-ING IT HARD We love the energetic instructors and high-intensity interval training at The Fhitting Room’s Upper East Side studio in New York City. So we’re excited that this month the sweat mecca, which uses suspension trainers, rowers, and more to make your muscles scream (in a good way), is opening another boutique in the Flatiron District. Don’t feel left out if you’re not a New Yorker, though. The gym plans to expand in 2015, and you can also follow it on Twitter (@fhittingroom) to get the teachers’ at-home moves.

PINK PRIDE Trek Breast Cancer Awareness Ride, October 11 or 12, cities nationwide Benefits: The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Love to bike?

ARM CANDY Profits from this intricate metal Ten Thousand Villages Spiral Zephyrs bracelet ($18; tenthousandvillages.com) go to workers at Trinity Jewelry Crafts, a small business in Kenya.

One in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime, and more than 200,000 cases are diagnosed every year. While mortality rates are declining, likely due to early detection and better treatment, we want to keep this trend going. To help out, sign up for one of these active fundraising events:

15th Annual Komen NJ Golf for the Cure, October 13, Atlantic City, NJ Benefits: Central and South Jersey Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

THE HOT LIST WHAT WE’RE OBSESSED WITH RIGHT NOW.

Supportive sports bras Finding the right sports bra isn’t any easier than dialing in the correct lingerie bra size; you just have fewer options to choose from—until now.

After nearly 600 hours of research, Nike recently released its revamped Pro Bra Collection. The most supportive style in the line is the Nike Pro Rival bra ($65; nike.com), which comes in 25 sizes, from 30B to 38E. In addition, there’s a fit calculator, in stores and online, to help women find their exact measurements.

(Do we hear the sound of other companies scrambling to do the same?)

CHIC NOTES Handwritten thank-you messages never go out of style, but boring beige paper certainly does! Give your heartfelt missives a classy upgrade with the Diptyque and Paper Tigre stationery line ($30 for a set of 6 cards; diptyqueparis.com). Bold, bright colors and elegant prints speak volumes about the well-mannered sender.

Polished palettes When you finally find a nail color you lust over, why stop at your fingers and toes? OPI Nail Lacquer has teamed up with Ace Hardware for the OPI Color Palette by Clark+Kensington wall paint. The line contains 18 of the mani label’s iconic shades, including hues Do You Lilac?, My Pointe Exactly, and Can’t Find my Czechbook (from $26; Ace Hardware stores).

“When I can’t make it to the gym, I try to do little fitness things throughout my day, like taking the stairs. I was in the Bahamas on vacation recently, and it was too gorgeous outside to be stuck on a treadmill.

So I snuck my fitness in by doing squats and lunges while I brushed my teeth in the morning, going for long walks, and swimming laps in the ocean.”

“Last year, right after the holidays, I was going through a difcult time, and I noticed my weight started creeping up beyond my normal 5-pound margin. And I was like, ‘Oh, hell no! I am not going to gain back those 40 pounds!’ I told myself that ftting into my jeans and feeling healthy was more important than drinking a strawberry daiquiri. I committed to the gym for two weeks straight and made some small but efective changes to my meal plan, like eliminating alcohol and downsizing my portions. I knew I had to reset my body fast and jolt it back on track.”

“The easiest way to get exercise into your day is with a wearable fit-tracker. I always aim for 10,000 steps per day, but if you’re just starting out, you may only hit 5,000.

Once you get into the habit, you accumulate more and more without even realizing you’re working out.”

Maria’s do-anywhere workout

Star Workout WorldMags.net The EveryGirl’s Guide to Diet and Fitness. Her go-go-go lifestyle is one reason Maria likes using a resistance band for strength moves. “You can tuck it into your luggage or your desk drawer for on-the-spot exercise,” she says. To show you exactly how it works, we asked her longtime friend and trainer, Andrea Orbeck, to design a band-focused routine that targets your entire body in just 10 minutes (you can find more moves in Maria’s book).

Use the band to firm up those large, calorie-guzzling muscles (legs, butt, abs and back) and nip your exercise excuses in the bud. That sounds very “everygirl” to us.

THE SANE WAY MARIA STAYS SLIM Looking at Maria’s flat abs and toned legs, you’d never guess she used to be 40 pounds heavier, but the busy star admits she doesn’t work out every day. She swears by a gradual, lifestyleoriented approach to losing the weight, which obviously works!

Check out some of her totally manageable tips (read: not your typical, crazy Hollywood fads) from her new book, The EveryGirl’s Guide to Diet and Fitness: 38 OCTOBER 2014 SHAPE.COM

Being healthy is more important than being thin.

We all want to look our best, but health should always come first. Crash diets and “exerexic” behavior may carve away pounds, but you won’t feel good enough to enjoy it. Maria would be the first to tell you that having abs that look like hers is not important; it’s about being healthy.

Don’t do a 180.

When you’re trying to make revisions to your life, start with incremental improvements instead of overhauling everything at once. “It’s incredibly hard to change everything about the way you eat and exercise

overnight,” she writes.

When she vowed to lose the weight she gained in college, Maria took it slow and ended up with lifelong healthy habits.

Avoid being rigid.

allow yourself a tiny portion every day.

Instead of working out for 30 minutes a day, try telling yourself to just be active daily. You still need parameters, but they should be flexible.

Vowing to follow a new diet or workout plan to the letter can be daunting. If you mess up, you get discouraged and may just toss in the towel.

Instead, Maria suggests setting boundaries for your new habits that allow some wiggle room. She compares it to having a fenced-in yard to roam around in versus being confined to the front porch. Instead of giving up sugar completely, maybe you give it up five days a week or

Due to her limited schedule, Maria likes to find ways to exercise that also provide social time with friends and family and make her feel good. She often opts for volleyball, basketball, and hiking. Think of it this way: You could grit your teeth through 30 minutes on the elliptical at the gym, or you could spend a couple of hours doing something you enjoy and burn a ton more calories.

Look Great Beauty Guru WorldMags.net Meet “Man”-icurist...

Tom Bachik

The graphic artist–turned–L’Oréal Paris nail technician is the handyman Hollywood stars like Blake Lively and J.Lo keep on file! Here, he shares how to pull off his fave fall trends, plus the two-second trick to making polish last and last. By Taryn Adler

LADY FINGERS

FIND YOUR SPARKLE HOLD THE CHIPS “It’s amazing how long a manicure can last if you apply oil to it nightly,” says Bachik.

His choice? L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Glow Renewal Facial Oil ($25; drugstores).

“Oil makes polish flexible, which means if [or, more likely, when] you hit your nails, they’ll flex and give, not crack.”

“Polish lets you easily and affordably experiment with runway trends.”

NEW PAINT JOB “ ‘Dude, all you have to do is change your canvas to nails,’ ” Bachik recalls thinking when, as a young graphic designer, he heard about the booming beauty industry. “The starving artist thing wasn’t conducive to raising a family,” explains the husband and father of three, who still dabbles in larger-scale art (see left).

50 OCTOBER 2014 SHAPE.COM

FAR-OUT EAST “I love people-watching in Tokyo,” says Bachik. “It’s the whole vibe of mismatched prints, funky shoes, crazy hair, and dramatic makeup. Just like with polish colors, you’d think some of the combos would never work— but it all looks so dang cool!”

WorldMags.net

PUMP IT UP After seeing colorblocked heels like this Gucci T-bar ($650; net-a-porter.com), Bachik was inspired to modernize the French manicure. “Instead of following the curve of the tip with an opaque white, I started painting straight across [the width of about a quarter of the nail] with brighter hues,” he explains.

Nail polish photograph by Jonathon Kambouris; styling by Jill Edwards for Halley Resources Inc. Getty Images (3)

To keep fall’s trendy glitter polishes sophisticated, Bachik suggests staying sheer with a single coat. “You should still see the natural nail, but with a hint of glimmer,” he says. “Or use it as just an accent color on the ring or index finger.”

Try L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Nail Sparkling Soiree in Midnight Fireworks ($7; drugstores in November).

“My favorite shape, the one I’m known for, is a slightly pointy oval,” says Bachik of his signature (as seen on Jennifer Lopez).

“It’s not quite almond, but it’s not a stiletto either...it’s a longer, natural nail shape that’s been narrowed to help elongate the fingers.”

Q:

Gerald Imber, M.D.’s

The Youth Corridor will look like, and that’s the time for your input. Having performed more than a thousand nasal surgeries, I cannot stress strongly enough that both the surgeon and patient have to be realistic. A woman with strong, broad features would look silly with a tiny, upturned nose.

The operation takes less than an hour to perform, and you sleep through it. It’s done through the nostrils, so there are no visible scars. There is moderate pain on the night of surgery, which is easily controlled by oral painkillers.

After 24 hours, there is nothing more than minor discomfort. A week after surgery, the splint is removed and you can face the world. Patients are always concerned about what their friends and family will think, but here’s the good news: People rarely notice anything more than a happy, better-looking you.

“I’m 35 and hate the bump on my nose. Am I too old to have it removed?”

The answer is this: Even at 35 or 55, you are definitely not too old to improve your nose. It is a simple procedure that adds facial harmony and actually provides a youthful lift to the face. I often raise the nasal tip for patients undergoing face-lifts simply for its youthful effect. However, I often refrain from operating on teenagers who have not achieved full growth, or seem too emotionally immature to make this decision.

Which brings me to having a

realistic view of how your nose fits with the rest of your face.

It’s understandable why patients often bring pictures of attractive noses to their consultation; this is a way to communicate their desires. But remember, your nose and your features have to work together, and the objective here is a nose that fits your face. Strive for the best version of your nose, not someone else’s nose.

Your doctor will be able to show you excellent clinical photographs of what yours

Gerald Imber, M.D., is a renowned plastic surgeon to the stars, an author, and a teacher. He heads a private clinic in New York City and is affiliated with the Weill-Cornell Medical College. Imber is cited by Castle Connolly and USNEWS as among the top 1 percent of plastic surgeons in the country. His philosophy, “The Youth Corridor,” is defined as the period of life when you look your healthy, youthful best. His book, The Youth Corridor, can be purchased at amazon.com and is also available at Books for iPad including instructional videos.

Lots of changes occur between teen years and adulthood, and believe it or not, your nose changes as well. As we age, two things alter the equation. Facial fat decreases and falls from the cheekbones, which had given balance and harmony to the strong nose you wore so well as a teenager. Then, the soft tissue of the nose begins to lose elasticity so the tip droops a bit…particularly while smiling, which can make the hump stand out more. The sum of these changes is that even though the hump hasn’t gotten larger, it looks more prominent because the youthful tip and round cheeks no longer disguise it. What was cute becomes a more dominant feature. Having established the chain of events, let’s get back to the original question.

Use these gadgets and the tips from David Reavy to unwind knots, as either a warm-up before your workout or a stand-alone session at least one morning a week. You’ll thank us later.

Target large areas first

Take it slow Move back and forth across a tool quickly and you’re only scratching the surface, says Reavy: “You’ll aggravate tight areas and might end up feeling even more pain afterward.”

Bend & straighten your limbs Once you’ve zeroed in on a hot spot, move the affected arm or leg. “This helps release tension, promote blood flow to the area, and improve joint mobility,” explains Reavy.

To ease stiffness in your quads, for instance, lie facedown with a roller under your thigh, then bend and straighten that knee repeatedly. Won’t loosen up?

Another muscle may be keeping it taut (tense hip flexors will tighten your lower back, for instance), so massage another section and then work on the previous knot again.

Start by using a foam roller on bigger muscles, such as your quads, hamstrings, and glutes. Reavy recommends paying special attention to your hip flexors, which are on the front of your hips.

“Whether you’re a runner or just sit at a desk all day, these are always a tight spot,” he says. Next, dig into all those smaller muscles, like the ones in your calves and the soles of your feet, with a firm tennis, lacrosse, or golf ball.

Roll until you hit a tender spot, then stay put. Even though it’s uncomfortable, try to relax.

SAVING FACE THE HIGH-TECH SOLUTION FOR AGELESS SKIN Contours. Firmness. Dimension. The three benchmarks of youthful skin and the outward signs of sculpted, defined facial muscles.

The challenge is that as you age, muscle loss can cause facial contours to lose volume and strength, creating a less youthful appearance. Like all muscles in the body, your facial muscles will benefit from exercise to maintain definition. The question then becomes, how do you give your face the workout it needs to defy the visible signs of aging?

Until now, electrotherapy used to stimulate and strengthen these muscles could only be found in doctors’ offices and high end spas. But with the launch of StriVectinLABS Facial Toner, you can get the same proven results at home. This FDA cleared, hands-free device delivers micro-current impulses to stimulate the nerves that control the major facial muscles.

With continued use, it restores muscle mass and tone, returning volume to cheeks and giving the appearance of lifted skin.

In fact, in a 12 week randomized controlled clinical study,

MIND GAMES

Martial arts 101 Use these tips from Guillermo Gomez, a fourth-degree black belt in aikido and the Miami-based creator of Martial Fusion cardio kickboxing, to find your perfect fit.

CONSIDER YOUR GOALS There are huge differences among martial arts styles, so decide what you want. Looking for high-energy exercise involving punches and kicks? Try tae kwon do, kung fu, or karate.

For more contact—like holding, grabbing, and grappling—opt for aikido, judo, jujitsu, or mixed martial arts (MMA). To learn powerful maneuvers you can use for self-defense, sign up for krav maga or MMA. Tai chi or qigong are meditative with slow motions and deep breathing (studies have found that tai chi can lower blood pressure and stress).

EXPLORE THE CULTURE The history of martial arts is fascinating, and you may resonate with one more than another.

88 OCTOBER 2014 SHAPE.COM

Most styles originated in Asia (the Chinese created kung fu, for instance, and karate is from Japan), but capoeira and a variation of jujitsu are from Brazil, and krav maga was developed for the Israeli military. Some styles have religious ties as well, such as Taoism and Zen. These underpinnings can make your choice more meaningful.

GET SCHOOLED Find local dojos or schools at a website such as themartial

directory.com, then spend your first class observing. Ask other students about their experience with the studio and gauge if you like the teacher’s style. There aren’t any universal certifications to look for in an instructor, but ask how long they’ve practiced, plus where and from whom they learned their methods. Note how they interact with students. If people seem to get injured easily under their guidance, seek out another place to study.

Martial arts could be called “mental arts,” as the psychological aspect is crucial. Whether you do tae kwon do or MMA, you need mental toughness, focus, and commitment, says NYCbased trainer and life coach Violet Zaki, a black belt in Seido karate.

“When standing in front of my opponent, I have to choose to be the winner or the loser,” says Zaki. “Without being confident and alert and visualizing my moves, I can’t win. The mental drives the physical.”

There are even styles called “internal” martial arts, which focus on using the mind, versus muscles, to guide the body and cultivating energy (called “qi”), so a lot of the work focuses inward; aikido, tai chi and qigong fall into this category.

Think martial arts aren’t your style? It might be time you took a closer look (celebs like Naomi Watts and Jessica Biel are fans).

With varieties ranging from relaxing tai chi to hard-core, highkicking kung fu, there’s one to help you unwind; net a sleek, strong, agile physique; build mental toughness; drop an attacker in his tracks—or all of the above. Whichever form you choose, you’ll silence your inner wimp forever and find that the skills (both mental and physical) you learn in the dojo can benefit your daily life as well.

Sports injuries don’t need to happen if you take the proper steps of prevention! Here are some of the most common aches and pains as well as tips to avoid and treat them to help you stay on track with your fitness!

AVOIDING ACHES Certain parts of the body are more prone to strain from a workout. Listen to the signs your body sends out to avoid the most common injuries such as swollen muscles, tendonitis, shin splints and sprains.

PREVENTING PAIN Practice proper fitness by staying hydrated, warming up and stretching not only before, but after, a workout. Be smart and start at a slow and steady pace rather than pushing yourself to the brink too quickly.

TREATING INJURIES When those aches and pains do creep up choose a product like Arctic Ease® to keep you moving while recovering! Arctic Ease® combines both cold and compression to reduce pain and swelling for up to 3 hours.

TRAIN YOUR BRAIN Need a midday mental boost? Skip the caffeine and power through a short gym session instead. Twenty minutes of moderate (about 65 percent of your max) exercise improves cognitive functions like memory, decision-making, and creativity, found a new study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. For the most benefits, keep it (relatively) short and sweet. Researchers say a 45-minute workout at the same intensity negated the brainenhancing effects, and a 10-minute session wasn’t long enough to induce changes.

SIP TIP

Real women do sweat—more than we think! Women underestimated the amount they sweat during exercise by more than 60 percent in a new study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. The problem: Once dehydrated, you could get dizzy, cramp up, or quit early. To find out how much liquid you lose in that killer cycling class, study coauthor Eric O’Neal, Ph.D., a professor at the University of North Alabama, recommends weighing yourself (sans clothing) before and after the workout. Dropping 2 pounds is the equivalent of losing about a liter of sweat. You should down 125 percent of that water loss afterward to rehydrate.

BE A GOAL-GETTER If you’re hoping to net a PR in your next race, set a goal. Having one prompts runners to pick up the pace toward the end, according to researchers from the University of Chicago.

Racers without a specific aim tend to slow down as they near the finish line. “Even if meeting a goal doesn’t come with an extrinsic reward, like qualifying for the Boston Marathon, avoiding defeat is motivation enough for most runners to push harder,” says study author Devin Pope, Ph.D. Try it for your next race, but we think the strategy also applies to other workouts, not to mention your career!

THE SQUAT This move is a fantastic exercise—when you’re doing it right. “You can squat all day and still have ‘droopy glute syndrome’ if you don’t activate the correct muscles,” says New York City physical therapist Brent Brookbush, D.P.T., author of Fitness Fact or Fiction. A good trainer can spot imbalances that affect your form, but you can also try a DIY test at home: Facing a mirror, stand barefoot with feet hip-width apart so your second toes are pointing forward. Squat, then rise up. Here, Brookbush gives us the scoop on four common “tells” to watch for, the culprits, and how to fix them:

2. If your knees bow in: Your knees should track over your second and third toes, says Brookbush. If they angle in, your lateral gastrocnemius (calf), adductors (inner thighs), biceps femoris (a hamstring muscle), vastus lateralis (a quad muscle), tensor fascia latae (TFL) on the side of your hips, and gluteus minimus are short and overactive. Your gluteus medius and maximus and tibialis muscles (along your lower leg) are weak.

98 OCTOBER 2014 SHAPE.COM

3. If your knees bow out: Your piriformis, biceps femoris, adductor magnus, and lateral gastrocnemius are short and overactive. Your gluteus medius and maximus and tibialis muscles are weak.

4. If your feet turn out: Your TFL, biceps femoris, and lateral calf muscles are short and overactive.

Your gracilis (inner thigh), medial hamstring and calf muscles, vastus medialis (a quad muscle), and your anterior tibialis are weak.

To fix these imbalances, Brookbush recommends strengthening weak areas and stretching and rolling out overactive muscles. (For detailed tests and exercises, go to brentbrookbush.com.)

Filling morning meals

Fat and protein both make your breakfast more satiating than processed carbs, says Paula Chandler-Laney, Ph.D. And other research finds that starting your day with protein may also help control your blood sugar, lowering your diabetes risk later on.

However, that doesn’t mean you should swear off grains or overdo it on bacon. Find the right balance with these tasty breakfast combos from culinary nutritionist Jackie Newgent, R.D.N., author of The With or Without Meat Cookbook.

You don’t have to cut carbs altogether, but you should keep portions in check and always pair them with fat and protein. Also, choose “good” carbs (fresh fruit, legumes or vegetables, unprocessed whole grains like oatmeal) over those you digest more quickly, like a bakery muffin.

Pale fruits and vegetables get a bad rap, with the deeply hued varieties stealing the nutritional spotlight. That may be why cauliflower—most familiar in white but also available in a range of shades—has kept a low profile despite its impressive levels of antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C. Now, more and more chefs are taking advantage of this cruciferous veggie’s amazing versatility: It’s great raw and crunchy in a salad, roasted as a side, or velvety smooth in purÊed soups and sauces, imparting a creamy texture. Make the most of cauliflower, at its peak now, with these tips from Filippo Gozzoli, executive chef of A Voce Columbus in New York City.

SELECT Whether you’re picking out a colorful head or a white one, be sure it’s bright and firm. Yellow spots or brown leaves are signs that it’s past its prime.

STORE Keep cauliflower in the refrigerator to preserve freshness.

Gozzoli stores his in a paper bag to prevent the veggie from getting too cold, which can dull a cauliflower’s color.

PREP “The best flavor is in the flower,� says Gozzoli. “The stem is usually tough and woody, so I discard it.� Remove the center stem with a knife, then break down the florets into evenly sized pieces. Slice thinly if you’re adding to a salad, or blanch the florets in water with a few tablespoons of white vinegar to preserve a bright hue.

SERVE Gozzoli likes serving scallops on top of a cauliflower purĂŠe. To make, simmer florets in milk with a few cloves of garlic and a vanilla bean until tender.

Strain, remove the vanilla and garlic, and purĂŠe. Or, try his famous insalate di cavolfiore.

Blanch florets in a mixture of equal parts white vinegar, water, and sugar. Then, sautĂŠ sliced red onion in olive oil, deglaze the pan with red wine vinegar, add roasted red peppers, chopped anchovies, capers, olives, and toasted breadcrumbs, and toss with the blanched cauliflower.

Fruit with less labor

Some of the tastiest fruit comes in tricky packages. Pro tips from chef Judy Joo will have you serving pineapple and pomegranate seeds in a snap.

Slice a pineapple All you need to conquer prickly

thorns is a sharp serrated knife and a few swift and targeted moves.

Step 2 Slice it up

Chop off the bottom and top of the fruit, which will keep it stable on the cutting board. Use your knife to slice off the sides, removing all the eyes (the brown spots with thorns). Work around the fruit in 1- to 2-inch sections.

Stand the pineapple on one end and cut it in half straight down the middle. Then quarter each of the pieces lengthwise, so you end up with eight long and slightly triangular slices.

Step 3 Remove the core

Step 4 Cut and serve

Lay each piece on its side; then use a knife to slice off the tip of the triangle, which is the fruit’s tough core. Discard the center pieces.

Chop up your cored slices crosswise into whatever size chunks you prefer.

screening method, but they can’t tell you whether you need the test. And that lack of know-how, says Weiss, discourages women from taking positive action, like asking their doctor for clarification.

Case in point: “People tend to overestimate their family risk of breast cancer and underestimate their lifestyle or environmental risks,” says Weiss, who’s also a breast cancer survivor. That means they wrongly chalk their risk up to fate (“My aunt had it, so I’ll probably get it no matter what I do.”) and overlook the simple moves they could take to protect themselves from developing the disease.

Live Healthy News WorldMags.net British researchers found may increase breast cancer risk by as much as 64 percent.

Another study found that a metabolite of cholesterol mimics estrogen, encouraging tumor growth.

The science on breast size is a little murkier. Some studies have found that wellendowed women have an increased risk, but many don’t take weight into account—obese women, who are already more likely to get cancer, often have bigger breasts. For now, Weiss says that cup size shouldn’t be considered a predictor of cancer development. As for menstrual flow, strength or frequency has no impact on cancer risk.

performed correctly (use the box to the right to learn how), monthly self-exams are at least as successful as mammograms at detecting serious cancers. They’re especially important for women who aren’t yet getting regular mammograms, and would otherwise rely only on clinical exams for screening, says Elizabeth Chabner Thompson, M.D., a radiation oncologist in Scarsdale, NY. “Who’s going to know what’s normal for your breasts better than you? The more you check, the more familiar you’ll be with them, which will help tip you off to changes.”

D) Yes, you read that right. Compared to women who slept seven hours per night, those who logged six or less hours of shuteye had a 62 percent higher risk of developing breast cancer, according to Japanese research. Low levels of melatonin, a hormone that’s produced when you snooze, may boost the body’s output of estrogen, a sex hormone and risk factor for the disease, report Harvard University scientists.

Cell phones, deodorants, and underwires are all

(think going from a risk of 1 percent to 2 percent). As you get older, however, your risk naturally increases, so that same jump can be more meaningful. Avoid highestrogen pills, which have a stronger link to the disease, and if you’re still concerned, explore nonhormonal methods, such as a copper IUD.

A) As many as 15 percent of breast cancers have been attributed to obesity, according to a study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

widely rumored to cause cancer, but no study has ever proven a link. The connection to fertility treatments, hormonal birth control, and hormone-replacement therapy (HRT), however, is a bit more complicated, says Weiss. Combined estrogenprogestin HRT, as well as long-term use of estrogenonly HRT and fertility treatments, are associated with an increased risk, and doctors generally recommend against them. The data on birth control is even fuzzier.

Extended use may raise risk— but when you’re in your 20s and 30s, your baseline chances of getting the disease are so low that even a seemingly “big” increase is relatively inconsequential, says Weiss

C) Low-carb eating plans like Paleo and Keto are often heavy on fatty foods like coconut oil and grass-fed beef—and women with diets high in fat, especially the saturated kind found in animal protein, have a 28 percent higher risk of hormone-fueled breast cancer (which makes up about 75 percent of diagnoses), according to an Italian study.

No single eating plan is deemed ideal by oncology experts, though the Mediterranean diet may offer protective benefits. Your best bet is to fill your plate with “clean” foods, including produce, whole grains, lean proteins, and small amounts of healthy fats (like those in avocados, nuts, and oily fish).

Live Healthy News WorldMags.net States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that women with no family history of breast cancer begin getting biennial mammograms at age 50, which it says is early and often enough to catch most cancerous changes. Other organizations, however, including the American Cancer Society, suggest yearly screenings starting at 40.

Ultimately, the best choice for you depends on your personal risk and comfort, so talk with your doctor about when you should begin screenings. Also, consider asking for digital mammograms instead of traditional film types.

While they’re similarly effective, many doctors, including Weiss, prefer digital because they’re clearer (and therefore less likely to cause false positives, which are more common for younger women—those in their 40s—who get screened) and offer faster results.

7

B) As of December 2013, the USPSTF advises that if you have a family history of breast, ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer, your medical record

should be evaluated to see if your relatives display certain characteristics associated with the mutation (like being diagnosed with breast cancer before age 45). If you do, some doctors will recommend the BRCA test, while others may prefer screening a relative who currently has cancer, if possible, to see if he or she carries the gene before subjecting you to the anxiety-provoking process.

Even if you do get a positive result, however, it doesn’t mean you’ll definitely get cancer. While having the mutation increases your risk by up to 87 percent, the odds are about 50/50 over your lifetime, and they can still be affected by lifestyle or environmental factors. Nor will you necessarily need a double mastectomy.

Depending on what type of mutation you have (some are less harmful than others), your doctor could recommend more frequent and comprehensive screenings, lifestyle changes, and/or preventive medications, like tamoxifen, a prescriptiononly anticancer drug that can reduce your chances of developing the condition by up to 50 percent.

Overly snug thongs can allow germs to travel from the rectum to the vagina, resulting in issues like UTIs (marked by burning when you pee). To stay safe, be sure yours aren’t too tight (for instance, they shouldn’t leave imprints on your skin) and have a wide waistband so they won’t ride up.

A wrong-sized bra is also problematic, notes Jill Rabin, M.D., professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Hofstra University. Constrictive cups may hinder the lymphatic system, impairing your ability to fight off disease; loose, unsupportive bands can cause back pain.

Her advice: Get fitted by a pro.

Finally, U.K. research found that too-small shapewear can trigger acid reflux, so only don garments that are as comfy as your regular undies.

Your fave boyshorts and thongs may be sexy— but, depending on the material they’re made out of, they may not be healthy. Synthetic fabrics like nylon can block airflow to the vagina, raising its pH and allowing yeast to flourish, warns Rabin.

To avoid infections, go for garments with a crotch lining made of breathable, natural fibers, such as cotton or wool. There’s no upside to choosing undies fashioned entirely of all-natural fabrics, though. In fact, when you’re working out, absorbent materials like cotton can trap sweat, leading to irritation. For the gym, Melissa Piliang, M.D., a dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, says to select bottoms (and bras) made Wash panties mostly of moisture-wicking after each wear, options like polyester. Or go and bras at least commando: If apparel every fourth, using a has a built-in cotton mild detergent on gusset, undies are both, says Piliang. optional.

Bleach kills more germs but leaves behind residue that can trigger an allergic reaction. To cut back on bacteria transfer, Philip M. Tierno, Ph.D., professor of microbiology and pathology at New York University, suggests cleaning intimates separately, sanitizing hands after touching wet undies, and disinfecting the machine weekly by running a no-clothes cycle with super-hot water and a capful of bleach.

Next time you need a midmorning or postlunch pick-me-up, grab your cell phone: Taking a breather to text a friend or beat a level in Candy Crush may make you more productive, report Kansas State University researchers. They found that people who took regular “microbreaks” to play on their smartphones were more upbeat than those who didn’t—and happier employees tend to be harder-working.

Plus, participants’ screen time only totaled 22 minutes during an eight-hour workday, or about 2 3⁄4 minutes per hour, which the study authors say isn’t long enough to hinder performance. Struggling with particularly stubborn brain fog? Spend that time on Facebook. Those who surfed social media on their phones got the biggest boost.

WorldMags.net Pet costumes:

Safe or scary?

Last year, about 14 percent of pet owners dressed their furry friends for Halloween—and spent roughly $330 million on costumes. But the wrong getup can be downright dangerous for your dog, warns Jules Benson, a veterinarian and chief veterinary officer of Petplan pet insurance. “The biggest risk is constriction of breathing and movement, which can cause suffocation and other injuries,” he says. Never choose outfits that attach to a collar, or add-ons meant to be tied onto your dog’s legs or tail. Also make sure the base of the costume secures around your pet’s chest and shoulders, not its throat, and is easy to remove in case the animal starts panicking. Another no-no: trailing or dangling attachments, like streamers,

extra legs, hats, and pompoms, says Benson.

Pets often mistake these choking hazards for chew toys, and if the items get stuck on furniture or outdoor foliage, they could cause an injury.

When Rover is suited up, Benson suggests keeping an extra-close eye on him or her to make sure nothing obstructs its eyes, mouth, or breathing. If your pet exhibits signs of being stressed or scared—shaking, pawing at the ground, and moving abnormally—undress it immediately and skip the costume altogether. (Unless you have the world’s most mellow cat, don’t try to get Mittens into the holiday spirit; most hate costumes.)

Benson’s last (tongue-in-cheek) words of advice? “Do have a thought to the pet’s dignity as well.” Whether that applies to this year’s Franken-dog costume is for you to decide.

ments in symptoms (65 percent and 63 percent, respectively)— and the extract caused fewer side effects. “Curcumin has been used for thousands of years, but only in the last two decades have almost 7,000 reports been published attempting to explain how it works,” says Bharat Aggarwal, Ph.D., professor of experimental therapeutics at the M.D.

Head off aches When it comes to handling headaches, you may be your own worst enemy. Here are some common mistakes women make in their quest to end pain, and the doctor-approved strategies to try instead.

ACHE MISTAKE #1

Delaying (or doubling up on) drugs Many people hold off on taking over-the-counter or prescription pain drugs like ibuprofen or triptans until their headache is intolerable. Big mistake, says Susan Broner, M.D., medical director of the Manhattan Headache Center in New York City. “The longer you wait to treat pain, the harder it is to get rid of.” She

recommends popping your preferred pill at the first sign of symptoms.

That said, if you’re reaching for the bottle twice a week or more, you’re putting yourself at risk of rebound headaches, which occur when drug overuse triggers a withdrawal reaction, warns Broner. For episodes that are this frequent, ask your doctor about preventive treatments (like supplements or lifestyle changes), and for help tapering off your in-the-moment meds.

WorldMags.net ACHE MISTAKE#2

Prematurely quitting meds It can take up to three months of regular use for medicines and lifestyle changes to begin to reduce the frequency and intensity of flare-ups, says Broner, so resist the urge to call it quits before then. If you want to try several new remedies (say, cutting out dairy and taking a supplement), Broner suggests staggering them by one month, so if you experience relief (or unpleasant side effects) you’ll know which to credit (or blame).

ACHE MISTAKE #3

Sleeping it off

NE

W

Spending too little time in bed can trigger migraines

and tension headaches— but so can snoozing too much, notes Broner.

“Sleeping in more than an hour and a half past your regular wake-up time often leads to a migraine, either that day or the following one,” she says. If you plan to doze off while you’re having an episode, set an alarm to wake you after 30 to 45 minutes; long daytime naps can disrupt your sleep that night, also increasing risk of a headache.

ACHE MISTAKE #4

Self-diagnosing Many kinds of headache— tension, migraine, cluster, and sinusitis—have overlapping symptoms, so they’re easily confused with one another.

Your best bet is to see a physician. But since there’s no gold-standard test for diagnosis, Broner suggests recording descriptions of your episodes before your visit—frequency, duration, location, intensity, and any triggers you’ve noticed—to give your doc a hand.

Taking note of accompanying symptoms can also aid with diagnosis: Sensitivity to light, for instance, is a sign of migraines—and, in some cases, treating these “sidekick symptoms” can make headache meds work better. Nausea, which is also common with migraines, can indicate that your GI tract is taking longer than usual to empty. This impairs drug absorption, notes Broner, so taking prescription

antiemetics or eating GIsoothing foods like ginger will boost the efficacy of your headache Rx.

ACHE MISTAKE #5

Relying on testing Doctors continue to order brain scans for headache patients, despite guidelines advising against them (now nearly 15 percent of patients get scans, compared to just 5 percent two decades ago).

Hold off in the absence of red flags, says Jason Rosenberg, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Headache Center. “They’re expensive, they expose you to a lot of radiation, and some, like MRIs, are so sensitive they may result in false positives that can lead to expensive and irrelevant testing.”

Fringe benefits

these spots while focusing on a worry or challenge cuts short the amygdala’s negative reaction to the stimuli. Research suggests that (depending on the scale of the issue) tapping could change the way the brain responds to theseroadblocks within weeks, letting you move past them.

So how can you tap into the benefits of tapping? Think of an obstacle (like anxiety over an upcoming 5K) and follow the directions below.

First, identify a specific roadblock, suggests Jessica Ortner, author of The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss and Body Confidence. Maybe last time you raced, a knee injury flared up and slowed you down and you’re concerned that it could happen again.

Next, tap the “karate chop” point, located just above your wrist on the outside of your hand, while repeating a positive phrase relevant to your concern three times, like “Even though I’m nervous that I won’t hit my goal time, I’m confident that I’ve worked hard to strengthen my knee and run fast,” says Feinstein.

Then spend 10 to 20 minutes rotating through the other eight spots shown here (they’re on both sides of your body; choose whichever feels best).

Tap each five to seven times while continuing to express your concern. Ortner says this trains the body to face challenges calmly and confidently.

Whether you’re into snorkeling, swimming, or surfing, Hawaii in October is a water wonderland. And with an average temperature of 85°F, plunging into the Pacific will be anything but bracing. Featuring 120 miles of coastline, Maui is home to at least five beaches that have been voted America’s best. Situated steps from one of them, Wailea Beach, the Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa offers easy access to any aquatic activity you’re hankering to try. Partial to pools? A 25,700-square-foot pool is for the kid in everyone, with waterslides, rapids, and a rope swing, while the 4,850-square-foot Hibiscus pool is reserved for adults. Even the spa, the largest in Hawaii, has a water theme, offering a hydrotherapy circuit that includes a Roman tub, saunas, cascading waterfalls, Swiss jet showers, five exclusive sea salt baths—capped off by a loofah scrub-down. (From $365 a night; grandwailea.com)

Those in search of more barefoot elegance and unspoiled natural beauty can head to the Travaasa Hotel Hana, which lies on the other side of the island in a small, untouched town high in the hills. Built in 1947 and recently restored, this boutique hotel delivers an experience authentic to the sugar-cane plantation-era homes that dotted the land in the early 1900s. Guests who want to unplug from today’s cyberpaced world will appreciate that the charming cottages are without AC, radios, TVs, and clocks—or they may be too busy combing a nearby black-sand beach, trying their hand at throw-net fishing, or zoning out during a lomi-lomi massage in the award-winning spa to notice.

WorldMags.net TO EVERYONE WHO HAS MADE SEROVITAL® THE FASTEST-SELLING “ANTI-AGING” BREAKTHROUGH IN AMERICA... THANK YOU!

‘‘

‘‘

There’s no denying that something that has a chance of reducing wrinkles, tightening saggy skin, decreasing body fat, increasing lean muscle mass, strengthening bones, and boosting mood, while giving you plenty of energy and improving sex drive, is... at the very least... irresistible.

When the famed Dr. Oz asked his audience, “How many of you want to start feeling 20 years younger right ® now?” and, after referencing the SeroVital - hgh clinical trial, added, “I have been searching for this from the day we started the show. I’ve been looking for ways of increasing hGH naturally because I don’t like getting the injections,” the sales of SeroVital (the patented hGH-boosting oral supplement) skyrocketed.

The belief that injections of Human Growth Hormone (hGH) may help reduce body fat, increase lean muscle mass, boost mood, heighten sex drive, get rid of wrinkles, tighten saggy skin and provide plenty of youthful energy has been, for the most part, an “underground” Hollywood thing. Even Shape magazine noted: “When you see a 50-year-old actress who can pass for 35, you can bet that good genes aren’t the only things responsible for her youthful glow.”

However, as attractive as hGH therapy became, the high cost of injections (about $15,000 a year) limited the benefits of hGH therapy to the very rich and famous.

Since Dr. Oz introduced the results of the groundbreaking SeroVital study (which was presented at the prestigious Obesity Society’s international scientific meeting held in San Antonio, Texas), SeroVital was exhibited at The Academy of Women’s Health’s 21st Annual Congress in Washington, DC and The 9th World Congress of Cosmetic Dermatology held in Athens, Greece. Even the United States Patent Office has added to the SeroVital mystique by issuing not one but seven U.S. Patents to protect the SeroVital formula from imitators.* With all the extraordinary worldwide publicity surrounding SeroVital, it has become the fastest-selling, most talked about “anti-aging” compound in America.

To all of you who have used SeroVital and contributed to its overwhelming success by generously spreading the word, we at SanMedica International™ sincerely thank you. To those of you who wish to learn more about this amazing, patented formula and get all the details please visit SeroVital.com or call 1-800-919-7306.

SeroVital is currently available at all Ulta stores, Kohl’s, select GNC locations, or directly from SanMedica International at SeroVital.com or by calling 1-800-919-7306 (use promo code THANKYOU52 and shipping is free†). SeroVital will soon be available at prestige retailers nationwide. A full 30-day supply costs about $100 USD.

Hankering for some one-on-one time with your one and only? Snuggling in front of a cozy fire in a rustic resort, like Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood in Oregon, should get the sparks flying. With luxurious queen- and king-size beds and majestic views, you and your guy won’t want to leave your room—but if you do drag yourselves out, you’ll have plenty of activities to keep the two of you busy. Skiing is hit-ormiss in October, but even when the slopes are closed you can go hiking or mountain biking, enjoy the upto-date amenities (like a heated outdoor pool), and sample the lodge’s many restaurants. (Rooms from $130 a night for a small chalet; timberlinelodge.com) For a warmer-weather romantic retreat, consider L’Auberge de Sedona in Arizona. The resort and spa offers six “Love” packages to help you and your better half celebrate any milestone, from your first trip together (the “Maiden Voyage” includes a three-course dinner and outdoor activities like a Jeep tour) to a pregnancy (the “Babymoon,” which includes a maternity spa treatment, baby gifts, and a customized menu for cravings).

For 15 years, fad diets were a way of life for Paula Brahan.

Although the Florida native was thin throughout her teens and early 20s, a sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits caused her to start battling the scale in her mid-20s. At 26, she weighed 146 pounds; six years later, she added 11 more to her already curvy figure—and was up to a size 10. “The gain was definitely noticeable, especially in my face and rear,” says Paula. In search of fast ways to beat the bulge, she turned to diet pills and hard-to-maintain programs like the cabbage soup diet. She’d slim down for a month or two, but the results never lasted. “I’d gain it all back—and then some,” says Paula. “I was in a constant cycle of trying to lose weight.”

WorldMags.net

WorldMags.net

You In Shape Success Story WorldMags.net Weekly exercise schedule By 36, Paula tipped the scales at 170 pounds. She’d gotten married the year before, in 2007, and had become stepmother to two adolescents. “I was a brand-new parent in a very busy family,” says Paula, who worked part-time as a nurse. “Everyone else’s schedule seemed to come first.”

Paula turned to quick and easy meals, usually in the form of fast food. French fries, fried chicken, and soda became mainstays in the Southerner’s diet.

“Sauces were my downfall,” says Paula, who frequently doused her food in sauce that by itself totaled 560 calories.

“Plus, I had no concept of portion sizes,” she says. For the next four years, the number on the scale continued to climb, and by the beginning of June 2013, Paula was wearing a size 14 and teetering close to 190 pounds.

“Secrets to my success” Dieting like an accountant “I think of calories like money: Once I’ve spent my daily allowance, that’s it. If I want to eat more, I have to earn it with exercise.”

Logging in “My friends and I came up with a motto: ‘Log before you hog.’ It means that you should write down the food you want to eat before you eat it. That way, you know exactly how many calories you’re about to consume.”

Eating to scale “Weighing and measuring your food at home is a great way to learn what proper portions look like, which is especially helpful when dining at restaurants. You’ll have a better idea of what 1 cup of something looks like or how much 6 ounces of chicken really is.”

HER TURNING POINT Around that time, Paula went on a family hiking trip and was mortified by how out of shape she was. “I was drenched in sweat and had to keep sitting down to rest,” she says. “Seventy-year-old men were passing me!” On the return trip, she found herself in tears. “I thought I might have a nervous breakdown,” she says. “It hit me that if I didn’t do something about my weight, I was going to develop all kinds of medical problems.”

A few days later, Paula began using the free app MyFitnessPal to log her food intake. Based on her goal weight of 145 pounds, she aimed to consume 1,200 calories a day. “I gave myself permission to eat anything I wanted, as long as it fell into that calorie limit,” she says. Paula also tweaked her diet, drinking water and unsweetened tea instead of soda and the sweetened variety.

When dining out, she’d start by ordering an appetizer—and only get an entrée if she was still hungry. She also wasn’t shy about asking restaurants to specially make things for her. “If I saw fried shrimp on the menu, I’d ask if they could steam or boil it instead,” she says. Paula also became more aware of the calories in sauces and condiments and opted for lighter toppings. “Little changes like these made a huge difference,” she says.

To speed her progress, Paula knew she needed to get active. But since gym memberships had gone unused in the past, she wanted to exercise at home.

The solution was a free website called 168 OCTOBER 2014 SHAPE.COM

Teching out “Investing in a heart-rate monitor is the single most motivating thing I’ve spent money on. I love the instant gratification of seeing how many calories I burned at the end of a workout. I recommend the Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor [$62; amazon.com], because it’s easy to use and comfortable to wear.”

fitnessblender.com, which has more than 200 videos that require minimal equipment. “I fell in love with the beginner kettlebell workout,” says Paula.

“It engages every muscle and burns about 400 calories.” She began doing the 45-minute routine, performing eight moves like lunges and squats three times a week, increasing the weight by 5 or 10 pounds when it got too easy.

Within four months, Paula dropped 30 pounds to reach 159. Shortly thereafter, she started a weekly weight-loss support group at her church. By the end of December 2013, she was down to 136 pounds—surpassing her original goal of 145. “All I wanted was to fit into a size 10,” says Paula. “Now I’m a size 4, which I haven’t worn since high school!”

HER LIFE NOW This past June, Paula tackled the hike that left her huffing and puffing last year.

Not only did she complete it without stopping, she even found herself singing a tune at the end. “I was so happy and felt really strong,” she says. “It’s hard to believe that at 42, I look and feel better than I ever have in my life.”

WorldMags.net

Doing my homework “Many restaurants provide nutrition info on their websites now, so I’ll look up what I want in advance. Knowing I’ll eat half a piece of cake helps me plan my meal accordingly.”

Building a support system “The group I created with my friends at church has been crucial to my success. I highly suggest buddying up with friends, your significant other, or even someone on MyFitnessPal. My username is ‘pbrahan.’

I’d be thrilled to support you on your journey.”

Being my own barista “I make a ‘fauxppuccino’ by blending 1 EAS AdvantEdge Carb Control Ready to Drink protein shake in French Vanilla [$5; drugstores] with 1 cup of cold coffee, ice, two packets of artificial sweetener, and two pumps of Jordan’s Skinny Syrups in Salted Caramel [$6.50; skinnymixes.com]. My concoction tastes just like the Salted Caramel Mocha Frappuccino from Starbucks but has only 102 calories and 17 grams of protein!”

Cleaning out my closet “As I was losing weight, I kept only the clothing that fit me at the front of my closet. Clothes that are too small make you feel like a failure.

Don’t start your day with them staring at you.”

Growth Hormone: The Long-Awaited “Fountain of Youth”?

Special” issue, highlighted growth hormone as its 2013 call-out. Shape magazine began a recent growth hormone article with the provocative lead in: “When you see a 50-year-old actress who can pass for 35, you can bet that good genes aren’t the only things responsible for her youthful glow.” But when the famed Dr. Oz himself told his audience about an oral compound that’s been proven to increase mean, serum (blood) growth hormone levels by 682% and said, “I have been searching for this from the day we started the show. I’ve been looking for ways of increasing hGH naturally because I don’t like getting the injections...” OMG! Almost immediately, this underground “miracle pill” became a full-blown “anti-aging” phenomenon.

You’ve heard it a million times: You can’t spot reduce, meaning you can’t choose where you lose fat. You can, however, spot tone by doing moves that zero in on specific muscles. That’s the whole point behind resistance training. But here’s the most important “muscle” to use when you want to target your trouble zones: your brain. “If you schedule dinner with a friend, you don’t show up and tune out. You focus on that person,” says Los Angeles personal trainer Lisa Kinder, creator of the DVD 10 Minute Solution: High Intensity Interval Training. “During a workout, keep your mind on the muscles you’re using and you’ll get more sculpting out of every rep.” She created the following routines to flatten your abs, lift your butt, and firm your upper body while seriously ramping up your calorie burn. Do them on their own or together in one workout, and you’ll experience a body transformation in as little as three weeks. No gym, expensive classes, or plastic surgery required.

HOW IT WORKS Twice a week, after a 5- minute warm-up, do each move for 30 seconds followed by a 20-second cardio interval (see “Choose a Cardio Burst,” page 179) and 10 seconds of rest. After you’ve done all 3, repeat the circuit 3 to 7 times.

YOU’LL NEED A foam roller or bench.

Catch the ball, rise up, and turn to the right and throw the ball on the ground to the right of your knees [B]; rise up and repeat to the left. Continue back and forth (going through center each time). If you don’t want to throw the ball, tighten your abs and bring your arms down quickly, as if you were going to throw it, but touch it lightly to the ground each time. You’ll still feel your abs working hard if you do it right!

BURPEES Squat, jump feet back, do a push-up, hop feet forward, then jump straight up, raising arms overhead.

JUMP SQUATS Stand with feet shoulderwidth apart. Squat, then powerfully jump up and lower immediately into the squat again after landing.

together and trying to kick your rear with your heels with every step (again, do it in place or move around).

MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS

Get in plank position and alternate quickly, drawing right knee then left toward your arms.

Try not to let your hips pike up as you do them.

HOW IT WORKS Twice a week, after a warm-up, do each move for 30 to 40 seconds followed by 30 seconds of jumping jacks. Repeat this for 10 minutes. Track the number of reps you can do and try to beat that number the next time you do the workout. It’s similar to an AMRAP (as many reps as possible) type of workout.

YOU’LL NEED A stability ball, or chair or bench, and a weighted ball.

BLAST MORE CALORIES WITH CARDIO Two or 3 days a week, do other cardio, especially if you have an extra layer of fat on top of your muscles.

Do 2 or 3 additional cardio workouts each week—but make them worth your while.

“You’re not going to see any changes if you don’t challenge the status quo,” says Kinder. “Make yourself uncomfortable.”

Get in plank position on the ground with hands under shoulders and body straight from head to heels [A]. Push hands into ground (as if you were trying to push the ground away from you) as you bend knees, shift hips back, and twist lower body to the left [B]. Draw your body back to starting position by pulling hands against the ground. Repeat, this time twisting lower body to the right.

Continue back and forth. When you push and pull against the ground—even though your hands don’t actually move—you’ll feel your chest and back muscles working.

▴A|B▸

3) BALL DIP Sit on a stability ball (place it against the wall if you need to) or the edge of a chair or bench and place the weighted ball in your lap. Shift hips off the ball or chair [A] and bend elbows, lowering hips toward the ground [B].

Straighten arms and repeat. Keep your shoulders pulled away from your ears and your chest lifted.

Stock smaller plates—not big bistrosize ones—in darker colors

Two ounces of cooked pasta is about 1 cup, which looks huge on a 10-inch plate. But on a 12-inch plate (the size most people have) it looks like an appetizer, so we serve ourselves another spoonful. And if your plate

food you’ll serve yourself 18 percent more, because food shows up better (and thus looks bigger) on a contrasting plate. Since white carbs like pasta and rice are the big diet-busters, using darker plates is simply

Drink from narrow wineglasses

M [FIG. B]

[FIG. A]

People pour 12 percent less wine into tall, narrow glasses than into shorter, wider glasses, because it looks like more (Fig. B). Two other bits of wine wisdom: You’ll pour 12 percent less in a glass when it’s sitting on the table compared to when holding it, because a glass looks more full from above; and people pour about 9 percent less red wine than white because it’s easier to see.

MOST PEOPLE DON’T FOLLOW RECIPES—instead using their finely tuned instinct of “Yeah, that looks like about the right amount”— but that can backfire. Imagine you’re making dinner, and on one day you have medium-size ingredients (say, a box of spaghetti, a jar of sauce, and a package of ground beef), and on another day you have large-size versions of all three. Food and Brand Lab studies have shown that when you use larger packages you end up making (and eating) 22 percent more food.

The solution: Split them up. If you buy large sizes to save money or time, break them down into smaller containers. And if you’ve already cooked the dish, split it and put half in the freezer.

WorldMags.net Ask for a table in a well-lit area or near a window

People at those tables are more likely to order healthier foods, while people at a dark table or booth have been shown to eat heavier food and more of it. Try to sit near the front as well; those sitting farthest from the entrance eat fewer salads and are 73 percent more likely to order dessert.

Tip

THE TROUBLE WITH TV

Avoid sitting near the bar or a TV screen

P

People sitting within two tables of the bar drank an average of three more beers or mixed drinks (per table of four) than those sitting one table farther away. And the closer a table was to a TV screen, the more fried food a person bought.

Scout a buffet before serving yourself

T

Three-quarters of slim diners in the Food and Brand Lab studies walked

around the buffet and scanned the food before taking a plate and choosing their dishes. Heavier diners, on the other hand, were twice as likely to charge to the nearest stack of plates, take one, and start filling it up.

Rather than skipping to the foods they really liked, they served themselves a bit of everything they didn’t hate.

sat at tables that were, on average, 16 feet closer to the buffet, and were three times more likely to sit facing the food.

From that vantage point they could see others returning to the buffet for seconds (or thirds!), which made that choice seem like “normal” behavior.

Sit far from the food

N

Not only did the slender diners head for tables far from the buffet, 73 percent of them faced away from it. Heavy diners

Fit & Famous WorldMags.net GOING STRONG WITH...

McMahon Talk about girl power: Stephanie McMahon, 38, is wielding it on all fronts. Not only does she play the villainous owner on WWE’s flagship program, Monday Night Raw, she also helps run the show behind the scenes as chief brand officer. And when she’s not flexing her physical and corporate muscles, she’s tapping her maternal strength, caring for her three daughters, ages 4, 6, and 8 (with her husband, fellow WWE executive and Superstar, Paul “Triple H” Levesque). Now she’s sharing her passion for exercise with the masses in a WWE Fit Series DVD, created with Levesque and her trainer, Joe DeFranco, to get women of all fitness levels in shape. We caught up with her between roles to find out how she keeps all the balls in the air. By Mallory Creveling “My dad [WWE founder, chairman, and CEO Vince McMahon] has always been into bodybuilding, and since I spent a lot of time with him growing up, his passion for the sport became one of mine. I’ve found that when I work out in any capacity, I’m more focused and driven—it makes me a better mom, performer, and executive. I do some form of cardio every day, and strength training three days a week.”

“My favorite dessert is my own creation: vanilla ice cream, preferably with dark chocolate chunks, then I crunch up dark chocolate-covered pretzels and dark chocolate-covered almonds and throw them in with it. I allow myself to cheat on my diet once a week.”

“Spending time with my kids is one of my favorite stress relievers.

We do a weekly movie night, where we bring sleeping bags down to the living room, take the furniture out, order a pizza, and watch something together. Quality family time is the most important thing in the world to me.”

“I started Connor’s Cure [a charity managed by the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh] after meeting Connor Michalek, an 8-year-old boy who suffered from medulloblastoma, a type of brain and spinal cancer that ultimately claimed his life.

But his spirit and joy overshadowed the disease.

Connor’s Cure funds pediatric and spinal cancer research to try to save other kids from suffering the same fate.”

“My husband and I met as characters on WWE, and we got married on camera before we ever dated. So life ended up imitating art in that respect.”
