Shape Up
Shaping up can be fun! Find the exercise that works best for your lifestyle, whether in a gym, on a hiking path or on the go. And make sure to check with your doctor before substantially increasing your level of exercise. Then go for it! Consider a personal fitness routine that includes both aerobic and anaerobic exercise, as described below.
A e r o b i c E x e rc i s e
Aerobic exercise involves large muscle movements over a sustained period of time. Running, fast walking and exercise classes are good examples. You breathe harder, your heart beats faster and your muscles get a workout. Your metabolic rate increases and you burn more calories. You build muscle as you lose fat. Your heart and cardiovascular system become much healthier. Your mood improves, as exercise relieves feelings of stress and tension.
A n a e r o b i c E x e rc i s e
Anaerobic exercise includes activities such as lifting weights and resistance training. This kind of workout builds new muscle and has some great benefits. More muscle mass burns more calories. Building muscle tones and reshapes your body. Muscle mass helps protect bone mass, which is especially important for women. Only 20 minutes of anaerobic exercise per day can make a dramatic change in your bodys shape and condition. Combine it with a daily aerobic workout and your ShapeWorks meal plan, and youll have longer lasting results as your metabolism increases due to building lean muscle. Dont forget that everyday activities offer the opportunity to burn calories. use stairs not elevators gardening dancing walking your dog
The National Academy of Sciences recommends 30 to 60 minutes of vigorous exercise every day.

HALIBUT AND VEGETABLE KABOBS VEGETARIAN BREAKFAST BURRITO
(serves 4)
Ingredients: 2 pounds fresh halibut filet 1 2 red pepper 1 2 yellow pepper 1 yellow onion 16 cherry tomatoes 16 medium white mushrooms Ingredients for basting sauce: 8 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 4 cloves garlic 1 slice fresh ginger root 12-inch thick 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar Directions: Cut the halibut filet into 1-inch cubes, making enough to evenly thread onto 8 skewers.* Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside. Cut the red and yellow peppers into 1-inch squares. Cut the onion into 8 large chunks, and then separate each chunk into 2 pieces for easier threading. Wash the mushrooms and snap out the stems. If you plan to barbecue the kabobs and are using wooden skewers, soak the skewers in water briefly before threading so they dont burn. Thread the fish, peppers, tomatoes, onion chunks and mushrooms onto 4 large or 8 small skewers. If you are not going to cook the kabobs right away, place in the refrigerator, loosely covered with waxed paper. Whirl all ingredients for the basting sauce in the blender. The basting sauce can be made in advance and refrigerated. Preheat broiler (or prepare barbecue) and spray cold broiler pan with pan spray. Place broiler pan under the heat for a few minutes to heat up, then place the skewers carefully on the hot pan. This will sear the fish and vegetables quickly. Spoon some of the basting sauce over the fish, and broil 3 to 4 minutes, or until fish and vegetables begin to brown. Turn skewers, spoon basting sauce over, and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon any additional basting sauce over the fish when serving. *Note: Any firm fish will work for this recipe, as will cubed chicken breast. Vary the vegetables according to your taste, but mushrooms, tomatoes and peppers are a classic.
(serves 2)
Ingredients: 1 4 avocado 4 corn tortillas 6 egg whites 2 soy sausage patties prepared tomato salsa 1 scallion, chopped Directions: Peel avocado, dice and set aside. Wrap tortillas in foil and place in a 350-degree oven to heat while preparing the eggs and sausage. In a nonstick skillet or a skillet sprayed with pan spray over medium-low heat, crumble sausage patties and stir just long enough to heat the sausage thoroughly. Remove the sausage to a covered bowl and set aside. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel, spray with pan spray and return skillet to the heat. Whisk the egg whites with a fork and pour into the heated pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until eggs are scrambled. To assemble, place two tortillas on each of two plates. Evenly divide sausage, egg whites and avocado among the tortillas. Top with chopped scallions and salsa, and roll tortilla around filling.
