Not to mention, you will still get to indulge—without the bulge!

How To
Come into a straight-arm plank with wrists under shoulders and feet hip-width apart. Draw belly button up and in, and engage the legs: Lift right leg up to hip height, keeping hips level and core strong. Lower the leg and switch sides. Keep the torso still throughout the entire exercise. Perform 10 reps on each side.

Beauty Tip of the Week: Gorgeous Glow
The sun can give us a beautiful bronze glow, but it can also cause the skin to dry. The best way to get your vitamin D fix (which has major benefits to your health) while keeping your skin luscious is with an ultrahydrating sunscreen. Look for a cocoa butter sunscreen, which will deeply moisturize the skin while providing broad spectrum protection. Your skin will glow all season long!
