Walk It Off: Burn 1,300 Calories Walking

Essential Upper-Body Shapers: Snow Angel

Grab a pair of 3- to 5-pound dumbbells and do two to three sets of each of these upper-body exercises twice a week to go from flab to fab.

Snow Angel
Targets: Back and shoulders

Holding a dumbbell in each hand, stand with feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and hinge forward 45 degrees at hips so dumbbells hover in front of knees, palms facing in.

Keeping back flat, raise extended arms up and out to form a V shape overhead, palms facing forward.
Lower straight arms out to sides and then down toward hips so they form an inverted V shape, palms facing forward.
Reverse arc motion to return arms to V shape.
Do 8 to 10 reps.
