Exercise of the Day: Squat thrusts. This is a high-intensity, total-body cardio blast that will boost your heart rate and help increase your calorie burn. This exercise will also help tone your legs, abs and arms.

Nutrition Tip: Fiber slows down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, which will help you burn fat. Foods that are high in fiber are bran, oatmeal, berries, black beans, kidney beans, apples, green peas, corn and brown rice, to name a few. Generally whole grains, vegetables, fruit, beans and legumes contain fiber.
