Butt Busting Exercise

Place an exercise band under both feet. Take 10 big steps to the right, then 10 big steps to the left. Repeat three times

Now, walk forward and to a slight diagonal 10 times and then backward/diagonal 10 times. Repeat three times.

Make sure your steps are big. As this exercise gets easier, speed it up. You should get a great burn in your butt and upper leg.

If you don't have an exercise band, now is the time to get one. They travel very well and will give you a great workout no matter where you travel! Throw in a jump rope and you have a cardio and strenth workout.

Frozen Treats for Summer

Do you like popsicles? Here are some healthier alternatives:

1. Frozen Stonyfield Yokids Squeezers (like go-gurts...without all the yucky stuff) At only 60 calories each + calcium + protein + creamy/yummy taste

2. Frozen green or red grapes, rinsed and taken off of the stem. Grapes get even sweeter when you freeze them. They are full of antioxidants, fiber, healthy fruit sugar, and will satisfy your craving for sweet and cold.

3. Double Churned Dreyer's No Sugar added ice cream. With only 80 calories for 1/2 cup, and all of the flavor and texture of a full fat/full sugar ice cream. Put it on a cone for only 50 calories extra...takes you back to childhood!

With well under 100 calories per serving for each of these treats, they are a more grown-up way to enjoy Summer!
