Ok, so if getting the body we

wanted was THAT easy, we’d

all have it… right?!

You guessed it: the whole great

body thing is actually easier

than you might think! Plenty

of people lose weight and get

into shape but few maintain

a lean fit and healthy look all

year round. We’re here to

change all that. Through the

next few chapters you’re going

to learn how to get into shape

and stay in great shape 24/7!

Sound easy? IT IS if you have

the right tools, the right infor-

mation and the right support!

So, I want you to spend a mo-

ment recapping your work and

exercise over the past week.

See how much time was devot-

ed to helping you achieve your

health and fitness goals and

what you did with the other

hours in the day. Then write

down some ways to take posi-

tive action to improve on each

of the things you could have

done better and then you’ll

start seeing results that will

surprise you!

Inside, You’ll Find:

BONUS:

Oxygen’s best 5-

minute protein shakes

for pre- and postwork-

out or simply as a

tasty snack!

Under 500-calorie

dinners even your

kids will love!

Tons of great fat-fight-

ing tips to get you the

body you want!

By simply putting a few things

together, they add up to a lot

over the course of the weeks

or months that you do them!

So take all the tips and tricks

you find in the following pages

and put them to good use!

There are some great workouts

you can do all in the comfort

of your own home, from fat-

blasting cardio to head-to-toe

toning and amazing new ab

moves.

There are also some quick and

easy 5-minute shakes that have

been specially selected by our
