"It's easy to slack off on ercising when the weather gets colder and we start piling on layers, but a strong, healthy body is essential all year long, reminds pro trainer Cara Castronuova, who recently partnered with Puma. \"Not only will you wear clothes better, but more importantly, you'll feel confident and strong in the way you carry yourself,\" she says. You don't even have to hit the gym to get an amazing head-to-toe workout, so there are no excuses! \"Here's a quick workout I put together that uses simple cardio and strength moves, and you can do it in your room while watching TV or before you get ready for bed. Put on your favorite upbeat music mix and try it out!\"\n\n Do the following ercises in this particular order, and do the entire \"circuit\" three times. Take a ten-second break between each move.\n\n Pushups:\n\n This is a total body workout that not only shape up your arms, chest, and back, but they engage your core/midsection as well. Start off with three sets of ten pushups done on your knees, and then eventually work up to doing them off your knees. Like everything else in life, it will take some work, but the benefits will definitely be worth it.\n\n Mountain climbers:\n\n A sweet cardio blast that's great for your heart and body! Drop into pushup position and get your legs running: Bring one knee in toward your chest, resting the other foot on the floor, and then quickly switch your feet in the air\u2014alternating back and forth as fast as you can. Keep your back as straight as possible. Do this for 30 seconds, and then eventually work up to one minute sprints.\n\n Jumping Jacks:\n\n Old-school gym class moves never go out of style! Try three sets of twelve, and then work up to three sets of 25. As long as you keep your heart rate up, you know it's working!\n\n Shadowboxing:\n\n Stand like a bor and simply start throwing punches! The point is to keep your body moving in a fun and empowering way. Picture yourself punching through all of your problems or fighting toward your dreams\u2014trust me, it works like a charm! Punch rapidly for 30 seconds, take a rest, and the punch for 30 more seconds. Repeat. Work up to doing one-minute sprints.\n\n Squats:\n\n This ercise targets the back and front of your upper legs, your calves, and your butt. Simply cross your arms over your chest and sit down, like you're sitting on an imaginary chair, and then stand up. Do three sets of ten squats to get more gorgeous legs. When it starts getting easy, grab a backpack from your closet, stuff it with books, and then wear it while doing the squats.\n\n Sit-ups:\n\n Stick your feet under a dresser (or some other place that will help hold them down), cross your arms over your chest, and do three sets of twelve sit-ups. Work up to three sets of 20. Make sure you use your core muscles to lift your upper body, not your neck!\n\n Dance move:\n\n It's time to get creative and patent your own cardio dance move. The more fun and crazy the dance move, the better! Do your move like nobody's watching for 30 seconds straight. Work up to doing two-minute sets. Your heart should be racing, and you should be laughing and having fun!\n\n Check out our slideshow of cool workout gear to help you shape up in style!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
