The only equipment you need is a jump rope. After warming up by jumping rope or doing jumping jacks for one minute, stretch. Then, do each exercise on the following list without resting. Once you're done, rest for 15 seconds and do it again. Try doing the whole list three times.

10 push-ups Keep your fingers spread out, your stomach tight, and your hips in line with your shoulders. Go down until your nose hits the ground, and push back up until your arms lock.

10 dips Sit down on a chair or bench and cup your hands on the edge on either side of your thighs. Walk your legs out until you're no longer sitting and are supporting yourself on your hands. Using your arms, lower yourself in front of the chair, then push back up until your arms are fully extended.

30 lunges (15 each leg) Standing with your hands on your hips and your feet shoulder-width apart, take a normal stride out, bending your forward leg at a 90-degree angle. Your back leg should also be at a 90-degree angle, and you should not bang your knee on the ground. Keeping your stomach tight and your hips aligned with your shoulders, step back into your starting position and repeat with the other leg.

15 squat pops With your feet shoulder-width apart, squat, then jump into the air, reaching your arms for the ceiling. Once you land, bring your feet shoulder-width apart again and repeat.

15 full sit-ups Laying on your back with your feet on the ground, sit all the way up to your knees, either keeping your arms at your sides (but not using them to assist) or keeping them crossed over your chest to add resistance. Lower yourself back until your shoulder blades touch the ground, then repeat.

10 wall push-ups Face a wall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Extend your hands at shoulder height, shoulder-width apart or slightly wider, and lean against the wall. Walk your feet back until you're up on your toes. Do a push-up towards the wall, and repeat. To increase difficulty, keep your feet together.

3 minutes jump rope or jumping jacks Haven't jumped rope since elementary school? You'll pick it back up fast, just stick with it. With jumping jacks, make sure your feet are landing more than shoulder-width apart—the wider the better. Don't cheat!

10-second squat (hold) With your feet shoulder-width apart, squat until your thighs are parallel with the ground. Hold this position for 10 seconds.

10 full leg lifts Lay on your back and make a diamond with your hands underneath your tailbone for support. Bring your knees to your chest, then extend your legs all the way back out, keeping your heels three inches above the floor. Do this 10 times without letting your feet touch the floor.

10 jump lunges Do a lunge with your left foot forward, then jump straight up, landing in a lunge with your right foot forward. Repeat.

15 shoulder push-ups Bend down like you're picking something up off the ground and support yourself with your hands like a tripod. Do a push-up, trying to touch your nose to the ground. Repeat.

3 min jump rope or jumping jacks

15 full sit-ups

30 seconds fast feet Sprint in place, bringing your knees to your chest.

A. Take It from the TopA good suit should hug your shoulders, not slouch off them. Most guys think they're a size larger than they are—say, a 42 regular instead of a 40. When buying a suit, go ahead and try sizing down. When you pull on the jacket, there should be a firmness to it. You should snap to attention and stand taller. If it doesn't fit right in the shoulders, don't buy it.

B. Lose the FlabThink about the width of the sleeves. This is an obsession of ours at GQ. For

pretty much every photo shoot, we have a tailor slim down the sleeves, trimming them of excess fabric. It cuts a mean figure.

C. Show Some CuffYour suit sleeves should end just above the hinges of your wrists, so a quarter to half inch of shirt cuff shows. It's like the frame on a painting—the elegant finishing touch.

D. Taper, Taper, TaperYour jacket should contour to your body. Have a tailor nip it at the sides. This will accentuate your shoulders—whether you've got strong ones or not.

E. Break It DownWe like flat-front pants, cut slim, with very little break at the ankle. This produces a long, clean look. Your pants should just clip the tops of your shoes, not bunch up over them.

F. Start with the LapelsNothing does more to dictate a suit's character than the lapel. We like a slim one, about two inches at its widest point. It's modern without being rock-star skinny.

G. Go for TwoWe swear by a two-button suit jacket. Sure, a three-button that's cut well can do the job, but a two-button is much more consistently reliable, no matter your shape or size. We typically opt for ones with low-button stances, because they create a long, slimming torso. They're foolproof.

H. Ticket, PleaseTicket pocket? Sure. If you're into more of a British-dandy vibe, go for it.

I. Cause a FlapWe like a traditional flap pocket. There's something a bit too '90s about those slit pockets.

J. Feel Free to VentFinally, don't ignore the back of the jacket. It plays an integral role in a suit's character. Generally, we prefer a center vent; it's unobtrusive and keeps the lines of the suit clean and simple. Side vents, like these here, make more of

a statement. They're a bit more...rakish.

"I like cuffs on pants of just about any fabric. Of course, when you're dealing with heavier corduroys and tweeds, the cuffs serve a purpose: They give the pants some weight, so they fall better. I say, if you're gonna go for a cuff, go for it; make it at least an inch and a quarter deep. As for the break, 90 percent of guys keep it classic, where the front of your pants hits the top bit of your shoes and the back of them touches the tops of your heels. That always works—but if you know what you're doing, then you can play around a bit and show a little ankle. Bring a pair of shoes to the tailor's to get the length just right and always follow that old rule 'Measure twice, cut once.' It's easy to go a little shorter, but it's impossible to go a little longer."

Be honest with yourself. Admit you're short and buy short-length suits.

• Wear a pocket square. It brings the focus to your chest, not your belly.

• A lower button stance creates long lines, essentially stretching you out.

• Show some cuff to lengthen the look of your arms.

• A pant leg with very little break will help you look taller.

• Big man, solid shoe. Choose shoes that have a substantial sole. You need something to anchor your weight.

FlannelThe man in the gray flannel suit. You can't get more timeless—and flawless—than that.

CorduroyYou don't want too fine a wale (so people mistake it for velvet) nor too wide (which can look a little too Greenwich, Connecticut, Christmas party).

TweedPerfect for those transitional months when you can skip the overcoat and just throw on a scarf with your trim-cut tweed sports jacket

1. Don't Be So Damn SquareBefore we start talking about styles of shoes, let's talk shape. If you're still walking around in square-toe, rubber-soled lace-ups—the kind you buy on the cheap and that make you look like you've got platypus feet—grab them from your closet and toss them.

Seriously. your shoes should be as streamlined as the rest of your wardrobe. That means a slim contour (but not painfully skinny) and a rounded (but not sharp) toe. They'll look stylish, tasteful, and masculine. And that's all you can ask for.

2. Some Basic Advice About the...BasicsThe one shoe every man should own is a black lace-up. You can dress it up or dress it down; it'll work with everything from jeans to suits. And that's the thing—don't think of it as special-occasion footwear. Avoid frilly or ornate details and you'll be able to wear the shoes as easily to the office as to the club.

3. Sure, No One Sees the Bottom of Your Feet...Shoes take a pounding. And nowhere more than in their soles. You need to think about that and make some decisions. Do you want everlasting soles or more bounce in your step?

4. Leather Soles? We Like 'Em Extra ChunkySome guys think leather soles mean hard and uncomfortable. Not true. If the shoes are well- made, they'll mold to your feet and serve you just fine. True, they won't be as cushiony as a pair of New Balances, but if you want real dress shoes, you want leather soles. Period. Now you've got two choices: There are those slim, contoured kinds that exude elegance and go great with a luxurious custom suit. And then there are the heftier lace-ups with chunkier soles. They're what we show a ton of in the magazine these days. They go great with skinny jeans or trim-cut suits. And if you take care of them (see number 7), they'll last you a lifetime.

5. Join the Rubber RevolutionLet's say you're insistent on extra padding for your lace-ups. The good news is that there are now plenty of stylish, wonderfully made dress shoes with full rubber soles, or at least rubber inlays. They're great for crappy weather and for comfort. But keep in mind that once full rubber soles wear down, that's it for them. Replacing the heels (or protecting them with taps) isn't a viable option as it is with leather-soled shoes

9. Polish One OffI love the ritual: the careful laying out of newspaper, and the round tin of Kiwi polish with the built-in wing-nut-shaped turn-key opener—a damned near perfect piece of industrial design. After enough applications, the old T-shirt that I use becomes a work of art in its own right, a poor man's Matisse. And my dad's horsehair brush (with the Good Housekeeping Seal branded into its hardwood handle) is the very same one he taught me with. First, I brush the shoe well, cleaning it of any dust or dirt. With the rag wrapped tightly around my first two fingers, I apply the polish in small, tight swirls. By the time I'm through applying wax to the second shoe, the first will be dry and ready to brush, and that's all I do.

11. Kill a Tree, Save Your ShoesYes, if you want your shoes to last, you need shoe trees. Ones made from cedar. They'll preserve the shape of your shoes, prevent them from developing deep creases, absorb moisture, and even make them smell

better. They're a no-brainer.

The One-Finger RuleMake sure you can comfortably fit one finger between the collar and your neck. If two fingers fit, the collar's too big.

• The shoulder seams should hug your own shoulders.

• Make sure the sleeves aren't too long or too short. When unbuttoned, the cuffs should reach just past your wrists.

The Straight PointThink superminimal American style, not the oversize big-tie-knot Italian look.

The Button-DownThe old-school all-American look. Has never gone out of style and never will.

The SemispreadPerfectly balanced. Not too wide or narrow. Not too hip or square.

The SpreadGot a Wall Street power suit? Pair it with a spread collar and a substantial tie.

16. How to Iron Your Shirt in Four Quick Steps

1. Fit your shirt, back side facing up, over the rectangular end of your board (not the pointy end). Moisten the shirt with a water-filled spray bottle if it's not damp.

2. Finish ironing the back and flip the shirt over to the front. Pull the shirt down so the shoulder seam lies flat on the board and iron out the wrinkles. Repeat on the other shoulder.

3. Take the shirt off the board, flip the collar up, and lay it down so the back of the collar faces up. Spray and iron. Then fold a crease in the collar and iron it in.

4. Lay a sleeve lengthwise on the board and, pulling it taut from the cuff with one hand, iron it with the other. Keep it rotating so you don't iron a crease into it—your sleeve shouldn't look 2-D. Then open the cuff and lay it flat so the inside faces up. Iron. Repeat with the other cuff.

Cuff your jean—especially when the fabric is selvedge. One turn or two turns. I cuff mine at about 1 1/2 inches to hit just above the ankle

Be thoughtful, but don't be obsessive—they're just jeans. Here's how to tend to your pair without acting the fool.—Stelios Phili

Never wash a new pair of raw denim too soon—you'll crush your chances of a sick fade.

A rule of thumb: Once the back-of-the-knees area bunches up and loses some blue, it's cleaning time.

How long will that take? Approximately six months, but it varies: Are you wrestling bears or sitting at a desk all day? Adjust the date accordingly.

With that said, a gnarly fade isn't worth smelling gnarly. To quote the great Brunello Cucinelli: "If I work with you nine hours a day and you smell, then you're ruining my life."

To prolong the first wash, always hang up your jeans—it'll air 'em out and keep 'em fresh.

HOW TO GET THAT DIRT OFF YOUR DENIM

I think my strategy is a little different than most people—not revolutionary by any stretch—but a bit different. I try to go about 6-8 months before washing my jeans. When I do wash them I do it in my kitchen sink with the jeans inside out and a cap of Woolite Black. Then I hang them to dry. The two most important things are not to use a commercial washer or a commercial dryer—unless of course you want your shit to look acid washed, in which case knock yourself out. Washing denim or not washing denim is all about reducing the loss of indigo from the denim and how the jeans age. I personally don't take this kind of shit that serious, I have other very important things to worry about, like what is going to happen with Lady Mary on Downton Abbey. —Michael Williams, A Continuous Lean

AND HERE'S HOW TO CURE CHRONIC CROTCH BLOWOUTS

Does everyone get holes in the crotch of their jeans, or is it just me? Best I can tell it's because I'm tall, and whenever I run up stairs or climb out of a

cab, it puts pressure on those seams. But I swear, every pair of APC New Standards I bought would blow out just when they were getting perfectly broken-in. It happened so much I used to joke that it's because I have razor sharp balls. And a lot of times I wouldn't notice the blowout until I was sitting on the subway with my area all exposed. Not a good look.

Anyway, this problem went away when I switched to black jeans. With black Levi's 511s, there's stretch added to the denim to help them retain their dark color. (They're 99% cotton, 1% elastane.) Bonus: That also means less pressure on the seams underneath you because the jeans have some natural give to them.

The other pair I discovered recently are the Black Label moto jeans by Ralph Lauren. They're pricey but they're also by far the fanciest jeans I've ever owned. Made in Italy, they're skinny without making me look like The Prince of Leon, they've got zippers at the bottom of the leg that allow me to get my 10-hole Doc Martens on and off easily, and they've got extra seams built in with just the right amount of stretch. (98% cotton, 2% polyurethane.) The stretch and seams are there for guys who are straddling a Triumph all day. I'm either too smart or too scared to ride motorcycles, but I like the aesthetic, and I no longer have to worry about walking around with a busted-open crotch zone. The high price tag is really about peace of mind. My own and that of the people sitting across from me on the Q train.—Will Welch, GQ Senior Editor

All New Design is Thinner, Lighter & Faster with FaceTime, Smart Covers & 10 Hour Battery

SAN FRANCISCO—March 2, 2011—Apple® today introduced iPad™ 2, the next generation of its magical device for browsing the web, reading and sending email, enjoying photos, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, reading ebooks and much more. iPad 2 features an entirely new design that is 33 percent thinner and up to 15 percent lighter than the original iPad, while maintaining the same stunning 9.7-inch LED-backlit LCD screen. iPad 2 features Apple’s new dual-core A5 processor for blazing fast performance and stunning graphics and now includes two cameras, a front-facing VGA camera for FaceTime® and Photo Booth®, and a rear-facing camera that captures 720p HD video, bringing the innovative FaceTime feature to iPad users for the first time. Though it is thinner, lighter, faster and packed with new features, iPad 2 still delivers up to 10 hours of battery life* that users have come to expect. iPad 2 is available in black or white, features models that run on AT&T’s and Verizon’s 3G networks, and introduces the innovative iPad 2 Smart Cover in a range of vibrant polyurethane and rich leather colors.

“With more than 15 million iPads sold, iPad has defined an entirely new category of mobile devices,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “While others have been scrambling to copy the first generation iPad, we’re launching iPad 2, which moves the bar far ahead of the competition and will likely cause them to go back to the drawing boards yet again.”

With the new front and rear cameras, iPad 2 users can now make FaceTime calls to millions of iPhone® 4, iPod touch® and Mac® users so they can see family and friends anywhere there is Wi-Fi. Photo Booth lets you apply fun visual effects, including eight photo special effects like Squeeze, Twirl and Kaleidoscope, to photos captured by either camera.

iPad 2 comes with iOS 4.3, the latest version of the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, with new features including faster Safari® mobile browsing performance; iTunes® Home Sharing; enhancements to AirPlay®;** the choice to use the iPad side switch to either lock the screen rotation or mute audio; and Personal Hotspot to share an iPhone 4 cellular data connection over Wi-Fi.*** Additional iPad 2 features include a built-in gyro for advanced gaming; HSUPA support for enhanced 3G upload speeds on iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G on AT&T, and HDMI Video Mirroring that lets users mirror their iPad screen on an HDTV using an optional adaptor.

The innovative new iPad 2 Smart Cover provides protection for the iPad screen while maintaining its thin and lightweight profile. Designed with a unique self-aligning magnetic hinge that makes it easy to attach and remove, the new iPad 2 Smart Cover automatically wakes iPad 2 when it’s opened and puts it to sleep when it’s closed, and has a soft microfiber lining to help keep the screen clean. The Smart Cover also folds into a stand for typing or viewing videos and is available in vibrant polyurethane for $39 or rich leather for $69 in a range of colors, including a (PRODUCT) RED one which helps support the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Apple also introduced two new apps: iMovie® and GarageBand® for iPad, both available on the App Store℠ for just $4.99 each. With iMovie, iPad 2 users can shoot and edit videos right on their iPad and post their movies to YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and their MobileMe℠ gallery; watch them on their iPod®, iPhone or iPad; as well as view them on their HDTV using AirPlay and Apple TV®. GarageBand turns your iPad into a collection of touch instruments and 8-track recording studio, allowing you to perform with onscreen keyboards, guitars, drums and basses using multi-touch gestures–even if you don’t play a musical instrument.

iPad 2 runs almost all of the over 350,000 apps available on the App Store and there are more than 65,000 native iPad apps available from an incredible range of apps in 20 categories, including games, business, news, sports, health, reference and travel. The iTunes Store gives iPad users access to the world’s most popular online music, TV and movie store with a catalog of over 14 million songs, over 50,000 TV episodes and over 10,000 films including over 3,500 in stunning high definition video.

Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork, and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple is reinventing the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and has recently introduced its magical iPad which is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices.

It might frustrate the competition to hear this, but it needs to be said: the iPad 2 isn't just the best tablet on the market, it feels like the only tablet on the market. As much as we'd like to say that something like the Xoom has threatened Apple's presence in this space, it's difficult (if not impossible) to do that. Is the iPad 2 a perfect product? Absolutely not. The cameras are severely lacking, the screen -- while extremely high quality -- is touting last year's spec, and its operating system still has significant annoyances, like the aggravating pop-up notifications. At a price point of $499, and lots of options after that (like more storage and models that work on both Verizon's and AT&T's 3G networks), there's little to argue about in the way of price, and in terms of usability, apps like GarageBand prove that we haven't even scratched the surface of what the iPad can do.

For owners of the previous generation, we don't think Apple's put a fire under you to upgrade. Unless you absolutely need cameras on your tablet,

you've still got a solid piece of gear that reaps plenty of the benefits of the latest OS and apps. For those of you who haven't yet made the leap, feel free to take a deep breath and dive in -- the iPad 2 is as good as it gets right now. And it's really quite good.
