The Straight Arm Pullover works the triceps and posterior deltoids at the same time. It's good for improving posture and toning the back of the arms. Setup: Hook an exercise band securely over a door
or other sturdy object. Step 1: Clasp the band and move your hands straight out in front of you, elbows extended. Step 2: Bring your hands down to the top of your thighs. Hold to the count of three
(about three seconds), allowing the muscles to contract, and repeat. Tip: Throughout the exercise, keep your chest up, chin up and shoulders back. The arms should always stay fully extended (thus the
name "Frankenstein"). Repeat the exercise for three sets of 10 to 15 for men, 15 to 20 for women. Professional trainer Derek Bimat, based out of the Rolling Hills Athletic Club in Torrance, has
trained actors and athletes along with his everyday clientele. He's currently working on the book "Derek Bimat's 12-Week Body Revolution." For information on Bimat, go to www.bodrev.com.

The Hip Lift With Stability Ball is a great exercise for your legs, glutes and lower back. Setup: Lie face-up on a mat with knees bent and your heels on top of a stability ball, arms extended out to
your sides with your palms facing up. Step 1: Slowly and gently lift your hips up and off the mat, keeping your glutes tight and squeezing the backs of your legs. Step 2: Pull in your abdominal
muscles and breath out. Your feet should flatten out on top of the ball. Hold for one count and then lower slowly, keeping the ball still. Do two sets of 15 repetitions each. Tip of the week: Make a
daily challenge of finding more ways to move your body. If you sit at a desk all day, schedule walks around the office every 30 to 60 minutes. Take the stairs while at the mall or at your place of
business. Walk the dog around the block with your kids after dinner. Make your entertainment active by choosing Saturday night bowling or dancing instead of dinner and a movie. Your fitness level and
energy will improve.

This exercise is great for working your shoulder, chest, waist and lower body. Setup: You can use a medicine ball that weights 3 to 15 pounds. This ball from Spri (www.spriproducts.com) has a handle
that is easy to slip your hand into for a nice grip. Step 1: Stand tall and grab the ball in one hand. With feet wider than your hips and the knees slightly bent, press the ball up and over your
head, leaning into the same leg. Hold at the top and then slowly lower the ball down, rotating at the waist. Step 2: Cross the ball in front of the body and lower by bending the knees and crossing
the ball toward the ground to the outside of your foot. Tap the ground and quickly come back up by pushing off the foot and bringing the ball across the body and back up again over the head. Repeat
for a total of 10 presses and 10 taps and then switch sides. Keep a nice rhythm to this exercise. Tip: If you are planning one more road trip before summer ends, don't get caught in the car without a
copy of "Healthy Highways." It is a guide to healthy restaurants across the United States. To get a copy, go to www.healthyhighways.com. Kathy Kaehler wrote the new book "Fit and Sexy for Life," and
