Bonnie Matthews, 26, works out while her coffee brews. "I do 'kitchen exercises,'" says the Baltimore illustrator who has dropped 130 pounds in three years. "Try resistance pushups against the side of a table. Place your hands on the sides of the table, contract your abs and lower yourself with your arms. Push back up. Do three sets of 15." Or do three sets of 15 squats.
Five minutes of resistance pushups or squats burn 48 calories—right in your kitchen.
