We will show you how to burn hundreds of calories without breaking a sweat. And here with us, malen burn strom and jaclyn emerick. Were not going to be sweating, but were going to do a little work out and eating right . Being mindful and paying a little attention. You dont have to do much to have a big payoff. Lets pretend, madeline, that we are here in the kitchen. We know the salad dressing gives you a lot of calories. Take the fork, dip it into this, and get your greens. Oh, okay. Because you see how tiny that was . If you did this once a day, youll lose a pound in a month, just by doing that. And you get flavor in every bite. Real salad dressing, nothing fake. Lets pretend like were eating dry salad. And we want to do some exercises while were in the kitchen. Weve got cans around. You grab two cans. I like your can. So you can curl, biceps and rotate the hands, thats shoulders and come back for the triceps. This is what we need. I do that every day with 10pound weights. Ones would be great what other thing should we eat . You see food, you eat it. What you want to keep on your counter is fruits and vegetables, instead of munching. You could save 500 calories a day if you swapped out something, some vegetables. You do this once a day, youre going to lose two or three pounds. Thats smart. Out of sight, out of mind. What can we do to work out while were eating our munchies. You have your step stool to reach and get something out of the cabinet. Do this, get the heart rate up. Look what shes doing. And add a butt lift when you get to the top. Hey, hey, hey. And what if we happened to have big rolling pins in our house . These are great. Theyre a little bit heavy here. You can do a great hamstring and buttocks exercise. Shift the butt back. And you can keep it close to the leg and do a little roll out there, a good stretch. If you want a good shoulder raise right there. And the dead lifts. Were baking, right . All right, we like that. Back to the munchies. One of the biggest mistakes everybody makes, they think, im not going to eat or drink anything all day so i can load up at the party. If you have some calories, youll save 500 or 600 calories, and you will save a pound or two by doing it once a week. Can you have a handful of nuts, about 100 calories. Cheese stick with some fat, because you want fat and protein. It keeps you fuller. Or lowfat yogurt. Not fat free. The fat is there to help you. Water goes through you and fills you up for five or ten minutes. What if youre doing laundry . And you want to do exercises at the same time. Doing laundry you can take advantage of the heavy laundry detergent bottles. There you go. Grab the handle. Grab the top. Bring it all the way to one side and drop it down. Like youre chopping wood. There you go. Arms abs. What form, hoda. You can take a couple of them and do some biceps curls. Here, you guys, what is this, seltzer water . You swap it out, youre going to lose a pound or two. Avenueevery other drink. Every other drink. I like seltzer. Are your kids bored already . Invite their friends for a Slumber Party, but you wont up all night longlong cell phone rings where are you . Well the squirrels are back in the attic. Mom . Your dad wont call an exterminator. Can i call you back, mom . He says its personal this time. If youre a mom, you call at the worst time.
