Jenny on FITNESS “The last time I weighed myself was 12 years ago, when I left the hospital with my newborn son, Evan, and I was 185 pounds. Now I measure by how my jeans fit. But I want to be real here and tell you that my weight goes up and down a lot. I was definitely up after the holidays last year, so I tried what everyone always says to do: running. I was on that treadmill every day for 45 minutes. I didn’t do anything fancy with intervals to spike my pulse rate, because I have palpitations and my heart can’t handle the intensity. I did a moderate pace and kept it there the whole time. After a few weeks, the extra weight dropped off.” jenny on…

1 FIRST BASE For lit-from-within luminescence, apply Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base ($48; chanel.com) under foundation. Or, use it as you would a cream bronzer for a more intense effect. 2 PAPER ROUTE Each of these ELF Studio Shimmer Sheets ($3; eyeslipsface.com) is dusted with pigment; just press them onto skin. They yield noticeable sparkle, so save them for spots below the neck—like your décolletage, collarbone, and shins. 3 LIQUID LOVE Leave it to a skincare brand to develop a bronzer that perfects and protects: Perricone MD No Bronzer Bronzer ($35; sephora.com) contains vitamin C to brighten and SPF 30 to block rays. Even better, the universally nattering hue takes the guesswork out of choosing a shade. 4 COLORTHEORY Guerlain Meteorites Perles in Dore ($60; guerlain.com) feature…

BOARD BASICS GEAR UP Choose an “all-rounder” board rather than a racing or touring option—they’re shorter (typically between 10 and 12 feet), which makes them more stable and easier to maneuver. Look for a suggested board volume that’s twice your weight (in kilograms) to help you stay afloat. Your paddle should measure 6 to 8 inches longer than your height. FIND YOUR FOOTING Whether beginning on a shoreline or at the end of a dock, crawl onto the board on all fours, then kneel and paddle a few strokes. Once you feel balanced, slowly stand while keeping knees slightly bent. SHORTEN YOUR STROKE Reach toward the nose of the board to place the paddle in the water. Don’t push it too deep; only the blade should be submerged. Keep your…

Panicked about swimsuit season? Don’t be. These quick tricks will have you looking and feeling slimmer by Sunday. With pool parties and beach days looming on the horizon, it’s tempting to switch into crash-diet mode. But drastically slashing your calories will only set you up for binges later on, says NYC dietitian Tanya Zuckerbrot, R.D., founder of The F-Factor Diet. “After about three days, your body turns to muscle for fuel, so you’ll wind up losing valuable muscle instead of fat.” A smarter game plan: Make these few easy, healthy changes that help you de-puff quickly so you’ll appear leaner all over. Drink up “If you don’t take in enough water your body retains fluid, which can make you look heavier,” says Zuckerbrot. Plus, H2O flushes out your digestive tract,…

Clafouti, a flan-like French cake typically loaded with heavy cream, gets a yogurt-infused makeover in this recipe from registered dietitian Toby Amidor’s new book, The Greek Yogurt Kitchen. What hasn’t changed: the indulgent taste. Plum Clafouti Serves: 8 Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 1 hour (plus 15 minutes cooling) cooking spray 5 large eggs 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt 1 cup 2% milk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 tablespoon orange-favored liqueur, such as Grand Marnier (optional) 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose four 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 pound plums (about 4), pitted and sliced 1 tablespoon unsifted confectioners’ sugar 1 Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat an 8-inch pie dish with cooking spray and set aside. 2 In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar,…

NEXT TIME things are heating up between you and your guy, try getting on top, suggests Susan Oakley, M.D., instructor of female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery at Cincinnati’s Good Samaritan Hospital. In a study in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, she reported that, compared to women who were typically able to climax during sex, those who had trouble tended to have clitorises that were farther away from the vaginal opening. Oakley calls the length of tissue between these two areas the “C spot,” and explains that the shorter it is, the more pressure the penis can put on it to indirectly stimulate the clitoris, making orgasm easier. When it’s longer, the nerve-packed organ doesn’t receive this contact—and that’s where trying a new position comes in. “Women with a longer…

WHEN MAKING A MONETARY DECISION... Focus on your breathing. Financial matters are especially difficult to resolve, due to subconscious decision-making biases that encourage spendy behavior. For example, you tend to overestimate how much you’ll regret putting potential purchases back on the shelf, which prompts you to splurge. But a recent University of Pennsylvania study finds that spending just a few minutes tuning in to your breathing before heading to the checkout line may allow you to tune out these self-sabotaging tendencies. WHEN FACED WITH AN EMOTIONAL CHOICE… Lower the lights. Bright rooms subconsciously make you feel warm, and higher temps are known to dial up the intensity of your gut reactions, according to a study published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology. So when deciding whether to end a relationship…

JUMPAWAY THE JIGGLE IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE child’s play, but springing on a trampoline burns nearly 7 calories a minute—about what you torch jogging—and fires up every muscle from your shoulders to your feet (especially those in your legs and butt). "By adding a few ta rgeted toners and mixing up your position, you can increase the sculpting power even more," says Rhonda See, a fitness coach and the owner of Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Parks in Buffalo and Rochester, NY, who designed this plan. While all that trimming and toning is reason enough to catch some air, we’ve got one more: It’s super fun! So call dibs on your kids’ backyard bouncer and put these moves to the test—we dare you not to smile. The PLAN HOW IT WORKS…

Admit it: At least once—and maybe a lot more often than that—you’ve stood outside your own home, desperately rooting around in an overflowing purse for the house key. If so, you’ve probably also been known to spend hours searching the towering piles in your workspace for a stray but crucial piece of paper. You’re not alone. In fact, disorganization and clutter is practically epidemic—not to mention expensive. A survey conducted by Brother International Corporation found that 38 on-the-job hours per person per year (almost an entire workweek!) are wasted looking for misplaced items in the office, and 3 0 percent of employees reported missing out on reimbursement for a business expense because they had lost their receipts. The psychological toll of messiness is high as well, notes Carrie Barron, M.D.,…

With the start of a new season (hello, summer!) comes a myriad of changes to the magazine we’re excited to tell you about. Building on our amazing recent redesign (see how our look has evolved over the years at right), we’ve created lots of new ways for Shape to continue to be the magazine you can’t wait to pick up—and never want to put down! Beginning with this issue, for example, we’ll showcase our commitment to great style with a stand-alone section, appropriately called Look Great Style, page 63, that highlights what’s hot in fashion. This month, it features four top swimwear trends in silhouettes that flatter every figure. If you love what you see in our fashion feature, “The Life Aquatic,” page 174, you’ll also love “Shop the Look”…

You won’t find Jenny McCarthy sweating it out at an exclusive gym, and she doesn’t have a pricey trainer on speed dial. Our cover star’s approach to fitness is refreshingly down-to-earth. A few times a week, she does a combo of running and dumbbell exercises, confessing that she skips the latter when she’s short on time. So we asked Shape fitness editor-at-large Jay Cardiello to design a quick toning plan the TV host can do anywhere. "Your body provides the resistance," says Cardiello. "And each move targets multiple muscles, maximizing every second of your workout." Jenny was sold: "Now when I only have 10 minutes, this is my go-to plan," she says. (Give it a shot and it will be yours too.) 1. BREAK-DANCER Works legs, butt, arms, shoulders, and…

HOME STYLE In addition to his passion for hair, Worthington also loves architecture and interior decorating, which is why he had a hand in designing each of his salons. Of the cozy and colorful flagship, the House of Charles Worthington (right), he says, "I wanted it to feel like a home." SMOOTH OPERATOR Of the 17 products in his line, "this is my favorite," says Worthington about the lightweight, argan oil-packed Charles Worthington Salon At-Home Moisture Seal Hair Healer Leave-in Conditioner ($10; Target). "It’s a bestseller [as of press time, the balm is sold out but being restocked] because it transforms dry hair." URBAN CENTER Worthington lists New York, London, Hong Kong, and Miami (above) as his greatest inspirations. "Creative people are drawn to these cities, so you get the…

Exercise first thing in the day and you’ll be less likely to blow it off. The secret to an early action plan: Sleep with the blinds open. In a recent British study, cyclists felt more alert and rode significantly faster when they were exposed to artificial light for 30 minutes prior to waking. Soaking up the sun may help reduce production of the sleep hormone melatonin, upping your body temp. “That can enhance flexibility and increase the amount of oxygen that gets to muscles,” says Andrew Thompson, Ph.D., the lead researcher. “The effect is similar to that of a warm-up.”…

To fire up your fat burn, hit the pool. Swimming blasts up to 10 calories a minute while carving out sexy definition in your upper and lower body. To maximize the benefits, try this routine from Jeff Pearson, a USA National Open Water Swimming Champion and owner of Boost Swimming in Lake Tahoe, CA. You’ll do strokes and drills that will improve your technique and endurance, making it easier to burn more calories with less effort in the future. Do this workout three times a week to become a speedier (and sexier) swimmer by month’s end.

Sugar shocker Put down that soda! Sugar is fast overtaking fat as a threat to your heart, according to new research in JAMA Internal Medicine In the study, people who got 10 to 24 percent of their calories from added sugar were 30 percent more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than those who consumed less. Nearly 3 in 4 Americans take in that much daily, and 10 percent get 25 percent or more, which raises risk threefold. Sugar may increase inflammation as well as raising blood pressure and cholesterol levels, says author Quanhe Yang, Ph.D., a senior scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This spring the Food and Drug Administration called for new rules to clearly identify added sugar on nutrition labels—a change we find heartening.…

Almond milk and antioxidant-rich green tea make this decadenttasting ice cream from chef Candice Kumai healthy and delicious. chef’s tip Edible flowers are available from specialty stores—or you can use homegrown lavender and roses, as long as your garden is organic.

7 MAX NUMBER OF DRINKS IN A WEEK THAT QUALIFY AS MODERATE DRINKING, ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON ALCOHOL ABUSE AND ALCOHOLISM. THE DAILY LIMIT IS THREE. 67% Amount higher the blood alcohol level was in volunteers 30 minutes after drinking liquor mixed with a sugar-free beverage, compared to those who consumed cocktails that contained sugary soda and juice. The absence of sugar accelerates the absorption of alcohol, says Australian researcher Chris Rayner, Ph.D., who notes that the intoxicating effect should also occur with nonsugary drinks like a vodka and club soda. To keep “light” cocktails from going to your head, drink in moderation with food. 277 Number of alcoholic drinks per year the average American says they drink. 819 Number they actually drink. 30% Amount less likely moderate…

Shannon Miller literally jumped into gymnastics: After she received a trampoline as a present and quickly mastered a front flip, her parents—concerned about their 4-year-old’s safety—signed her up for classes. Ten years later, in 1992, the pintsized powerhouse competed in the Barcelona Olympics, where she won five medals—the most of any U.S. athlete that year. At the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta, Shannon scored the first American gold for balance beam and led the “Magnificent Seven” to the U.S. women’s first-ever team gold. She semiretired the following year, but continued to tour with other Olympic gymnasts, even after she began college full-time in 1997. “It was hard to leave a sport I enjoyed so much and spent most of my life doing,” says the 37-year-old. THE FRESHMAN 40 When she…

How do you improve on a summer staple? By adding innovative sauces and toppings, which transform this backya rd favorite into a surprisingly sophisticated meal.

British pop star Rita Ora may have caught the world’s attention when she tore off Zac Efron’s shirt at the MTV Movie Awards in April, but the singer has a lot more to show off than Zac’s sexy six-pack. For example, this month the 23-year-old will tour stateside, promoting the release of her—as yet untitled—sophomore album, which includes the hot single “I Will Never Let You Down.” And next year she’ll appear in the much-anticipated film 50 Shades of Grey, playing Christian’s sister, Mia. Here she dishes on her fave workouts, vintage sneaks, and the beauty essentials she can’t live without. "I’m very social, so I like dloing activities with other people-and that inclucles my workouts. I mix up classes like Spin, Barry’s Bootcamp, barre, and yoga." "I have Earl…

WHAT WE’REOBSESSED WITH RIGHT NOW. EYE-CON MADE IN THE SHADE The Marilyn Monroe Sun and Optical collections, from Allure Eyewear and Authentic Brands Group, capture the glamour of the timeless star. Our fave: the Marilyn ($495; marilynmonroeeyewear.com), a limited-edition pair that comes in red (shown), white, or black, and is adorned with Swarovski crystals. All profits from the sunnies benefit Hollygrove, Marilyn’s childhood orphanage, which now provides services to at-risk kids.

Pair off Pedi season is in full swing, but going matchy-matchy is a thing of the past. If you’re hesitant to try two different hues, stick with the same color family-a la the bright CND Vinylux Weekly Polish in Electric Orange ($10; cnd.com) and subdued Essie Polish in Resort Fling ($8.50; essie.com), shown. "Tints with similar undertones complement each other," says Skyy Hadley, owner of As U Wish Nail Spa in Hoboken, NJ, "so the pairing is totally wearable." Draw the line A simple way to dress up your digits for summer? Stripes! To nail this look and make it suitable for everyday wear, stick to neutral, creamy colors. Start by painting nails with two coats of a pale brown shade like OPI in Taupe-less Beach ($9; opi.com), shown here.…

For nonpermanent hair removal below the belt, waxing is the way to go. "The hair around your bikini line is coarse and grows in all different directions, which increases the likelihood of ingrowns from shaving," says Kristen Haines, owner of Euphoria Spa in NYC. "Plus, if you wax regularly, hair will grow in finer over time—or possibly not even grow in as much." Book an appointment with a pro if you want every hair removed—a DIY Brazilian is not advisable, no matter your level of waxing expertise. To clean up the outer edges, Cindy Barshop, founder and chief brand officer of the NY-based Completely Bare Spas, says it’s okay to take matters into your own hands. Before starting, read the directions carefully, as product how-tos can differ greatly. One universal…

NO MORE PROCRASTINATING. Swimsuit season is officially here. But if you’ve been following our Summer Shape-Up plan for the past four weeks, you’re already seeing major improvements that are getting you ready—dare we say, psyched—for your annual reveal. And this month’s routine will turbocharge your results. (New to the program? Jump right in.) “These moves target muscles from various angles with different fitness modalities, forcing your body to keep adapting,” says Jillian Michaels, who based the workouts on her popular Bodyshred program. “That prevents any hint of a plateau.” Check out the down-dog scorpion push-up (page 80) and you’ll get a good idea of what lies ahead for the next 30 days: a lot of sweat, a little soreness, and a lean, sculpted body you’ll love. The PLAN HOW IT…

Here’s another reason to love strawberries: Snacking on this sweet summer treat can help keep your cholesterol in check, according to new research in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry. In the study, healthy people who ate about 3 cups of strawberries daily experienced a 14 percent decrease in LDL, or “bad,” cholesterol—and a 9 percent drop in their total cholesterol—after a month. This effect may be due to the berries’ high levels of anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that give the fruit its bright color, says author Maurizio Battino, Ph.D., an associate professor of biochemistry at Italy’s Marche Polytechnic University. Other research shows that these compounds can also dilate blood vessels and protect against inflammation. Battino notes that even a smaller quantity of the fruit may confer benefits, so bump up your…

Primo pasta Don’t let the creaminess fool you: This sprightly take on a primavera from Dina Cheney, author of the new cookbook Meatless All Day, gets its luscious texture from a light and lemony goat cheese sauce. Whole-Wheat Rigatoni with Asparagus and Leeks Serves: 4 Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 23 minutes 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for the water 1/2 pound whole-wheat rigatoni 1/2 bunch thin (1.4-inch-thick) asparagus, bottom 2 to 3 inches trimmed of and discarded and the remainder cut into 1-inch-long pieces 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 leek, ends trimmed, with light green and white parts quartered and thinly sliced 1 1/2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose four 3/4 cup 2% milk, at room temperature 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives 1 heaping teaspoon freshly grated lemon…

Don’t bring your work home with you. It’s advice we’ve heard millions of times before. But it turns out that there can be a real upside to staying on the job—or at least being on your best professional behavior—when you’re off the clock. In fact, a recent University of Illinois study suggests that in order for a romantic partnership to succeed, developing a “relationship work ethic” that rivals a couple’s professional one is essential. “At the office, we make an effort to arrive on time, pull our own weight, listen attentively, and dress to impress,” explains lead author Jill Bowers, Ph.D., a researcher in the Department of Human and Community Development. But because we’re not rewarded with promotions or paychecks at home (and are often distracted by kids, family, social…

Make a clean start Don’t want bacteria in your burger? Deep clean your grill at the start of the season, then again after every third use, by washing the drip pan and interior with hot soapy water, suggests Cheryl Luptowski, home safety expert at NSF International, a public health and environmental organization. Grates on which food is placed should be washed with soap and a wire brush after each cookout. Before subsequent barbecues, preheat the grill for five minutes to burn off remaining suds; brush with cooking oil to ease cleaning. Keep flames contained Set up your grill on stable ground in a well-ventilated area at least 8 feet from your house and shrubbery, advises Jim Judge, member of the American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council. Prior to lighting it…

Amanda Otto never worried about her weight growing up. Tall and naturally trim, she maintained her 170-pound frame by playing basketball and competing on her high school dance team. But when she turned 17, Amanda’s priorities changed. “I craved independence and desperately wanted a car, so I quit my extracurricular activities and got a job to save up for one,” she says. Working at a movie theater—where she had endless access to popcorn, candy, and soda—caused Amanda to pack on 30 pounds over the next two years. By her graduation in 2002, she weighed 200 pounds. Diploma in hand, Amanda moved out of her parents’ house and opted to attend college at night so she could work full-time during the day. Although she loved the freedom of flying solo, living…
