Shortcuts to shape-up your body fitness

The cheat: Resting longer than the prescribed time during a circrut
The verdict: Go forit
> Many circuits call for short rests-usually 30 to 60 seconds-to keep your heart rate high enough to produce a cardio benefit (read: calorie burn). But if you're really struggling after a tough set, tack on an extra 30 seconds of rest, says Rebecca Stephenson, board-certified women's health specialist in physical therapy at Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital. It will give you (and your muscles) enough of a breather to complete the next set with perfect form without compromising your calorie burn.
The cheat: Exercising in the morning when you re deadtired
The verdict: Bad idea
> Ifyou truly didn't get cnough shut-eye (you rolled in at 3 a.m. or you were up all night
with a crying baby), crawl back under the covers. A study found that when dieters were sleep
deprived they lost less body fat and morelean muscle mass than when they tallied more Z's.
What's more, exercising when you're too drained can take your focus off proper form, upping
your risk ofinjury.
If you're just feeling groggy, get your butt out of bed by committing to do half of your
workout, suggests Michele Olson, Ph.D., a professor of exercise science at Auburn Universityin Alabama. Chances are, you'II pick up steam as you go and bang out the whole thing. "Knowing
that you can cut it short will get you out the door, which is the hardest part:' she says.

Your last reps should be tough to finish but not so difficult that you have to compromise your forYm .lf your form starts to suffer early in the set, switch to a lower 17 weight so you won't have to skip the last reps-or hurt yourself trying to push through them.

Personal Space

As being one member of the society, we couldn's avoid interacting with other people.The distance we control is quite important for us.We may always need our own space and we also try to keep certain distance away from others.This is quite normal in our daily life. When we are in the hospital waitng to see the doctor, if there is only one people sitting on the seat, you may certainly choose to sit several miles away from him and try not to sit very close to him.When there comes the third people, he would choose the seat both far away fron you two. When there are only two seat left beside one people,one would propabaly choose the seat which is further from that person. Then people would take the seat closely beside him into their last considerration.
   We are all accustomed to a certain distance with others. Everyone has their own distance which could be called the safety distance.They regard the area belong to the safety distance as their own personal space. Only in this space will they feel safe and comfortable. Once someone rush into the privata area, they would lose the sense of security, And they would be much more vigilant. Therefore, people all try to keep their own space be safe and not be violated by others.
     However, somtimes we have to give up maintain our space as it's unaviodable. For instance, when you are on the crowd bus, you even have no place to stand. So you must give up your personal space then.
    

Be a good lisener

  We may want to be the speaker in the center stage, and then attract people's attention all the time. No matter where we are, we always dreaming to be the central point of the public. This is very reasonable that we are all eager to be focused. No matter when we are students or in the office, we spare no effort to be the speaker before others. However, we need to be  listner rather than  speaker somtimes. When other people are speaking, we should try to listen to them. At this moment, we'd better listen carefully about what he is saying about. looking his eyes, we listen to him, which shows our  respect to him. This is also to show our politeness. What's more, listen to others could also enable us to know much more other advices and solutions. While with your friends, you should also learn to be a listener. When they are in sorrow or depression, they may want to find someone to share his feeling. He just need someone who are willing to listen to her heart and then understand him. This may be the strongest surpport to him. Therefore, we shouldn't be a speaker all the time, somtimes we need to be a good listener.

The laser wizard

Sadick's extensive research has pioneered one of the most talked-about anti-aging skin-care technologiesof the past decade: non-ablative lasers. The tricked-out machines treat discoloration, sun damage,and wrinkles without burning the top layer of skin and subjecting patients to
weeks of hiding out.

 "Photodynamic therapy with intense pulsed light results. The red and blue LED light (a broad-spectrum light source) penetrates pores to shrink sebaceous glands,
decrease inflammation, and remove bacteria, Breakouts, redness,and irritation are visibly
improved after just one treatment, but you should aim for one session ever3t three to six
months,depending onthe severity of the acne:' Each session costs around $400 to $700.
   +  Apply RAPs
"Lasers are the best way to erase signs of aging. But you can prevent yourself from needing
laser treatments by using products that contain three key ingredients: retinoids, antioxidants,
and peptides-RAP.While antioxidants fight the free radicals that cause wrinkles, inflammation,
and other skin damage, retinoids and peptides are growth factors that stimulate cells to produce
the collagen that keeps skin looking young.
     "Apply a retinoid two or three nights a week, and choose a slow-release formula to minimize
irritation [try Roc Retinol Correxion Sensitive Night Cream,$30,at drugstoresl. On alternate
days, use a peptide-based product Ltry the antioxidant-packed Avon Solutions A.M. Ageless

compete to be the best

    "I showed up for my workouts and got my butt kicked every day," she says. But she didn't give up, despite the fact that even Kenneth Baum, the sports performance consultant she had hired, pointed out how difficult it would be for her to reach her ambitious goal. "Her times were so slow; she was far off the national mark," admits Baum, author of The Mental Edge, who none-the less stuck by his client."At one point I was thinking, You're kiddrng-th/s isn't going tohappen. And then she blew everybody's mind."
     And everyone out of the water. In October 2007, Burden managed to beat 24 superior athletes to win the U.S. Open Water World Championship Trials in Fort Myers, Florida. How'd she pullit off? Baum chalks it up to grit. Researchers today are homing in on thispreviously neglected mental trait and uncovering its colossal influence on success. Turns out, grit explains why your college roommate is a business wunderkind, and how Molly-down-the-street became
a black belt in tae kwon do after popping out four kids. It's not that they have more brains, athletic prowess, or talent than you do. They just may have a better-developed ability to gut it out-that is, to set a far-reaching goal and drive relentlessly toward it.
    "Micha Burden is living testimony that great things can happen when you dream big and follow through:' says Baum. "She had a real fire inside her to perform her best. She lived it every single
day, That is grit. Athletic ability shuts down when there's adversity. Grit doesn't."

DUNGENESS CRAB

When not drowned in butter or packed into a cake and fried, the meat of these Northern Pacific crustaceans can be seriously slimming-three ounces contains only 73 calories and 15 grams of satisfying protein. Crabs are usually cooked like lobsters (boiled alive); if that makes you feel mean, Geagan suggests opting for
frozen, which is just as tasty and healthy.
  Flavour profile:                  
Succulent, delicate,
sweet, and slightly salty
Best with:      
 Mild flavors such as avocado to complement its clean brininess; biting lemon,lime, or fiery Cajun spices for culinary contrast
Try it:
Boiled and chilled. Toss the meat into a salad for a deliaous twist on nioise; fold some into
your next omelet; serve with cocktail sauce
for a light appetizer.

How to say no to your boyfriend

If your boyfriend want to live with you, and you just cannot accept ai the moment. How can you do to avoid cause any bad effects. How to say no. Shacking up too soon can spell doom for even the strongest of couples,so you're smart to keep your finger off the trigger. A little honesty goes along way here, so tell him,"Look, this relationship has a lot of potential,and l don't wantt o
rush into anything that might hurt our future." Then offer a compromise like a drawer in your apartment, a cohosted party with all of your friends, or even spacein your fridge for a case of his favorite beer.This way, you can prove to him that cohabitation won't necessarily make you closer and you can cozy up in lots of ways without signing the same lease. So just be wise to say no rather than refuse him directly.
