8 AM: Multitask Through Your Morning Routine

“Instead of simply standing while you're getting ready, try doing plié squats by the sink while brushing your teeth or sitting in a wall squat while applying makeup,” says Sammie Kennedy, creator of the Booty Camp Fitness Ultimate Home Edition 2 DVD. “While you're making breakfast, use a hand weight or a heavy item around the kitchen, like a water bottle, to do a few curls on both arms.” Then aim for 100 jumping jacks, crunches, or high knees before hopping in the shower, she suggests.
