Celebrity Workout SecretsHeidi Klum’s Post-Baby Ab WorkoutShe’s a supermodel for a reason: three kids later, Heidi Klum still looks sexy as ever modeling for Victoria’s Secret. Two months a er having her second child, Klum con dently walked the runway in a Victoria’s Secret fashion show. How did she do it?
In addition to a diet of lean protein, Heidi Klum worked out for 90 minutes every day to get her pre-baby body back.
Since you’re not on deadline to strut your stu� in lingerie, your workout doesn’t have to be as extreme. Heidi Klum’s trainer David Kirsch gave us the workout to lose the baby weight and be a hot mama like Heidi Klum.
Get Slim All OverA combo of cardio and strength training quickens weight loss. Do 30 minutes of cardio three times a week and light weights twice a week.
Get Six-Pack AbsLie faceup holding a stability ball with your arms extended over your head.
• Raise arms and legs to meet over your abs and place the ball between your ankles.
• Repeat movement, taking the ball into your hands.
• Do 3 sets of 10, 3 times a week.
Can I work out on an empty stomach?� e idea seems logical — if you don’t have any food in your belly, your body will start using up stores of fat as its energy source. I’m not the only one. Many bodybuilders and gym goers also believe sweating it out on an empty belly will help burn more fat instead of using up the stores of quick carbs found in the food they’ve just eaten. � is couldn’t be further from the truth, and research conducted by Strength and Conditioning Journal shows that calo-ries burned comes from muscle instead.
Not only are you losing muscle by exercising hungry, but since you have no fuel to work out, you won’t have the
energy to exercise as long or as intensely as you would if you had eaten. � is translates to less overall calories burned. In another study, women who con-sumed 45 grams of carbs before working out actually ended up eating less calories the rest of the day, which also aids in weight loss.
� e bottom line is that if you’re trying to lose weight, working out without eating is not the way to go about it. In order to maximize your caloric burn, you want to eat a healthy snack before sweating it out.

Jessica Biel’s Workout Secrets From Her Trainer:Cardio: “It’s the cardio that leans her out,” says her trainer, Andy Walsh. A� er a ½-mile jog, they hit the track for two 200-meter, 150-meter and 100-meter sprints.
Core: “Hanging leg raises don’t build a six-pack, but they � atten,” says Walsh. “Jessica hates them, but she powers through!” How-to: Hanging from a high bar or rings, pull knees up slightly above waist. Do three sets of 15 repetitions.
Plyometrics: “� ese hurt,” says Walsh of stair jumping. “Even athletes hate them. A� er Jessica did the se the � rst time, she would’ve punched me if she had the energy.” How-to: Jump from the bottom step of a � ight of at least 20 stairs to the third. Keep going, skipping a stair each jump.
Weight Training: “We tend to use lighter weights and do more reps,” he says. “We keep moving, so it becomes a cardio workout too.”
For the waist: � ey do the Russian Twist. Sit down and lean back slightly. Hold a 5-lb. medicine ball and twist from side to side, 15 twists per side, three reps.
For shoulders/biceps: Stand with knees slightly bent. Hold 10-lb. weights in each hand. Curl to chest. Rotate hands, palms face outward. Press overhead together. Do 3 sets of 10-12 reps.
Jessica Biel’s Diet:“Clean foods”— those that aren’t processed—are on the menu Walsh created. “She eats complex carbs at the beginning of the day,” he says, “and tapers o¤ by the end.”
Breakfast: 1 cup of oatmeal with handful of berries.
Snack: 1 slice whole wheat toast, 1-1 ½ tbsp. of almond butter and sliced bananas on top.
Lunch: Salad with 5-6 oz of chicken, vinaigrette dressing.

Family Life Living Green TodayBack to Books: Ways to Prep Your Child For ReadingWhat’s the easiest and most inexpensive way to take your kid on an adventure? Read. Children don’t just pick up books and know how to read them. A lot of preparation goes into the process. Here are � ve fun and simple ways from an elementary school teacher to prep your youngster for the lifelong relationship they will have with texts.
Read to your child: Reading to your tot teaches them book organization. � ey learn to read from front cover to back and from le� to right across the page.
Rhyming Games: Encourage rhyming with simple silly word games to pass time in the check out line or in the car. Start with fat, cat and rat and have your child chime in with others.
Books of � eir Choice: It doesn’t matter what type of text your child reads as long as they read. Connect book choices to your youngster’s interests to hold their attention. Take weekly trips to the library so they can explore all the options and make their own selections.
Environmental Print: Kids absorb their surroundings. Use post-its to tag items around the house like “door,” “table” and “chair” to help your child with word recognition.
Draw on Vocabulary: Have your child name and explain the pictures in a book and then point out those words on the page. For example, if she explains the princess illustration, match it to the word “princess” in the text.
Dixon Golf ’s Line of Recycled Golf BallsWith over 300 million golf balls discarded in the U.S. every year, it’s surprising that there are not more companies o� ering a green solution for eco-minded golfers.

Dixon Golf ’s manufacturing facility meets the highest standards of ecologi-cal concern. It is lit by LED lights, its energy comes in large part from solar panels, it has better air quality and lower VOC’s compared to manufacturing facilities of its kind, and recycles its water.
Players need not worry about sacri� cing performance as the recycled core balls from Dixon have been tested and meet or exceed performance characteristics from traditional competitors like Nike and Titleist.
Dixon also o� ers rebates on its website for golfers who recycle their existing used balls.

whole-grain) 9-inch tortilla• 1/4 cup pizza sauce• 1/4 cup 2 percent shredded mozzarella• 16 slices Yves Veggie Meatless Pepperoni (or 3 slices lean
sandwich meat, cut into small pieces)• Vegetable toppings of your choice• 1 cup mixed greens (optional)
PREPARATIONHeat oven to 400°. Coat a cookie sheet or pizza stone with cooking spray.
