Shoulder Press

May 6, 2008
It works the top of the shoulder, giving you beautiful, well-defined shoulders!

Stand with dumbbells in both hands at your shoulders. Your palms should be facing forward. Keep your abdominal muscles held in tight.

Now raise your arms up towards the ceiling. Make sure you don't lock your elbows. Slowly lower to the shoulder. Do 12 reps, rest and repeat.

Eat your way to a hot bod!

Summer is the best time of the year to get into shape, since your body requires more fluids and lighter foods.

Eat 5 small meals a day. This revs up metabolism, making you burn fat more effectively.

Breakfast -- Bowl of cereals, boiled egg white, fruit

Mid-morning -- Handful of nuts

Lunch -- Wholegrain sandwich with a low-fat filling. Add lots of veggies!

Evening Snack -- Fruit or fruit smoothie

Dinner -- Soup, fish/ chicken/ lentils and a filling salad. Eat your dinner 3 hours before bedtime.

Stick with this programme and you'll see your figure transform into a hot bod!
