    Butt is easy to work by doing exercises for your hamstrings (muscles on the back of your thighs). Gyms usually have a machine where you lay on your stomach, there is a bar behind your heels and you lift it up to your butt. Also, squats are great. You can start doing squats with no weights, hold small hand weights on your shoulders, or go for a barbell with or without plates. Squats were hard on my knees though, I had to wrap my knees in giant elastic straps for support. As for the belly, that's a harder area to work. Overall aerobic training will cut down on the fat, but you'll need to do lots of crunches, leg lefts and oblique crunches to tone up the muscles. Gyms usually have machines, but those machines are not as effective as crunches. Some gyms have inclined boards for doing crunches (your head goes at the LOWEST part!). Some gyms offer aerobic classes and there are classes called something like 'body sculpting" to work on different parts of the body. The instructors should be telling you how to work each part of the body. A good gym should also have staff that can show you how to do the exercises you need. And don't forget the "Y". Ours has a great gym, knowledgeable staff,and child care too! Good luck.

    Go for protein as opposed to sugar to keep energy levels going strong rather then crashing. Edamame in pods is the perfect snack since it takes a while to eat and a one-cup offering offers 12 grams of proteins.

    Keep a smaller water glass, which you need to refill often, instead of a big water bottle on your workspace.

    Salt causes bloating and butter is full of calories, so flavor pasta, soups, meat, and stews with fresh new herbs, garlic, and onions as an alternative.

    Wash your car as an alternative to taking it through the auto wash.
