9 Best Fitness Moves of All Time

It's resolution time! As we ring in the new year, many people often turn their focus from indulgence to moderation and start working to shed a few pounds they gained over the holidays. With this in mind, the American Council on Exercise (ACE) compiled a list of the best moves to target problem areas and keep your body lean and fit throughout winter.
Though you may have a particular body part in mind right now, ACE pooh-poohs the idea of "spot reduction" -- they say it's based on the flawed notion that it's possible to burn fat from one area of your body at a time, which, unfortunately, it is not (so much for those fantasies of shrinking your thighs and adding the leftover volume to your bust!).

2. SAY NO!
When someone (not your boss) asks you to do something you don't have time for, say, "I'm sorry, I can't"--and feel the freedom wash over you.

3. PLAN YOUR DAY Schedule your biggest task of the day for when you're most focused and productive. You'll get it done more quickly than if you try to tackle it during a natural low point. More...Shine from Yahoo
