10 Ways to Lose 10 Pounds
I Like This! (20)
The "Burn Fat" Way
Blast more calories in less time and fire up your metabolism with interval training.
Why try it: "Adding several short bursts of high-intensity exercise to your walking routine can burn up to 100 calories more in the same amount of time," says Geralyn Coopersmith, a senior national manager at Equinox Fitness Training Institute. Doing challenging exercise also boosts your metabolism.
Action Plan
Kick up your workout with this routine from Coopersmith:
- Alternate walking at moderate intensity for three minutes with speed-walking for two minutes. Do this for 30 minutes, then add five minutes of moderate walking at the end.
- Try it five times a week and you'll burn 500 more calories weekly than you would with a moderate walking routine.
DROP 10: In about a year. Combine it with the "Eat More" Way and see results in just seven weeks!
