  Exercising Outside the Box

CARDIO KITCHEN: Don't designate the gym as your only exercise area. Your kitchen has a lot to offer too, says Richard Giorla, owner of CARDIO BARRE® in Studio City, Use you kitchen counter to plie your way to great legs and butt, make you stomach taut with standing reverse ab crunches, and sculpt your arms with countertop push-ups. When your hands are close together, you target your triceps; when they're further apart, you work you chest. Do calf raises while emptying the dishwasher. Then grab a pair of soup cans and try overhead tricep presses. Or use the cans for bicep curls to train the other side of your arms.

Who ever said multitasking can't involve exercise?
