Cosmopolitan USA – June 2017

TUMMY-TONER

PUSH-UP

Begin in push-up

position, hands

directly below

shoulders and

core engaged.

Lower down into a

push-up, and bring

right knee up to tap

elbow. Return to

start and repeat on

the opposite side.

Do 5 reps per side.

TOE-TOUCH

CRUNCH

Lie on back, legs

straight and arms

on ground above

head. Using your

core, lift opposite

leg and arm to meet

over the center of

your body, keeping

leg straight.

Slowly lower to

start. Do 15 reps.

BODY

ONE

“With one day to go,

concentrate on

small changes that

will yield big results,”

says Dawn. Pay

fierce attention to

moves that improve

your posture.

“Working your arms

and core helps

elongate your

waistline and give

your muscles an

extra pop.” Repeat

this sequence

three times, resting

one minute

between circuits.

strategies for

nourishing devel-

oping muscles and

avoiding sneaky

added pounds.

QUIT THE (FAKE)

SWEET STUFF

Artificial sweeteners

like sucralose,

aspartame, and sac-

charin can disrupt

your metabolic hor-

mone balance and

increase your risk of

weight gain.

CUT THE BOOZE

Excess alcohol can

tank your sleep qual-

ity, and that, in turn,

can fire up your hun-

ger hormones. Limit

yourself to 1 to 2

glasses of wine,

2 to 3 times a week.

Prefer a cocktail?

Opt for sugar-free.

TRACK YOUR FIBER

Eat at least 25 to

30 grams each

day to feel satisfied

and banish bloat.

WATCH THE SALT

To avoid water

retention (read: a

swollen belly), keep

your sodium intake

below 1,500 milli-

grams a day.

24 hours with

Zanini’s bloat-bust-

ing nutrition tips.

GO EASY ON THE O 2

Drinking through a

straw and chewing

gum are sure ways to

swallow extra air that

puffs up your tum.

KEEP YOUR GUT

HAPPY

Skip peas, green bell

peppers, radishes,

and cabbage—all of

which promote gas.

Sauté some kale

instead: Its insoluble

fiber passes right

through your system.

SNACK ON PINEAPPLE

The tropical wonder

contains bromelain,

a natural enzyme

that helps combat

bloating.
