| Baby, it’s cold outside, but if you do manage to motivate yourself into doing a little outdoor workout, you’ll get way more of a payback for your troubles. You’ll burn more calories exercising in the cold than on a balmy day because your body requires more energy to maintain its temperature, making it easier to lose weight. One study found people who hiked in very cold weather burned 34 percent more calories than people who walked on milder days! |

Russian twist with ball slam
- Start sitting on the ground, with your feet bent in front of you. Lean your chest back without rounding your spine. Grip a weighted ball with your hands. Twist your upper body to one side, then slam the weighted ball down to the ground. Pick it up and repeat on the other side. If you don't have a weighted ball at home, you could use a basketball. Continue alternating for 10 reps.
Falling star:
- Start in a high plank position, with your hands flat on the floor. Lift your right arm straight into the air. As you shift your body to the side, stretch your left leg across the floor. Repeat on the other side. Continue alternating for 10 reps.
Punch plank
- Start in an elbow plank position. Keeping your body in a parallel line with the floor, tighten your hands into fists. Keeping your lower body as still as possible, punch the air in front of your right arm, then left. Continue alternating for 10 reps.

| The start of a new year is a good time to think about the people you spend time with. Do you have friends who are chronically toxic? Toxic relationships are imbalanced, unfulfilling and unsupportive. One big red flag is that your friend brings lots of drama -- he or she needs you for everything and right away. If you have a friend who is going through a tough time, be there for them. But if it's a one-way friendship and you are constantly drained, let them know how you feel. |
