Health and Diet
Fat-free cooking spray. This is a dieter's pantry staple, since you can keep food from sticking to pans and add the flavor of olive oil, herbs and butter, while you eliminate the need for cooking fats that add up to excess calories and fat. A one-second spray, compared to a tablespoon of oil, is enough to coat the bottom of a pan and this will save you a massive 115 calories and 7 grams of fat.

Fitness
Keep going youre making progress. If you exceed 15 repetitions and the weight is too light; gradually increase. Gallon milk containers make good weights; just fill to increase weight. Dumbbells and cuff weights are right for some people. At first, you will be increasing the weight every week or so.
