Exercise Your Right to Kate Middleton's Royal-Worthy Arms

Source: Exercise Your Right to Kate Middleton's Royal Worthy Arms

All eyes were on Kate Middleton last week as she made her first official solo royal engagement at a London charity ball. As amazing as the Duchess of Cambridge looked in her pale blue gown, we were distracted by how toned her arms and shoulders were! Keep reading to find out how Kate keeps in such great shape and what it takes achieve a set of shapely arms and shoulders worthy of a royal setting.

• Arm-Emphasizing Cardio: In order to show off all that toned muscle you've been building, you'll also need to trim down the fat. The easiest — and healthiest — way to lose weight is through a consistent cardio program and a healthy diet. If you're hoping to get shapely arms like Kate, maximize your cardio efforts by picking arm-emphasizing workouts. Kate is a regular on the ski bunny and is also quite the rower — both of these activities require a lot of upper body movement.
  Can't make it outdoors? Just hop onto your gym's elliptical or rowing machine.
• 
  
• Lateral Arm Raises: Lateral arm raises (aka side-arm raises) work your deltoids, which will help deliver strong, sexy shoulders.
  • Stand with your feet hip distance apart. Hold a three- to five-pound dumbbell in each hand, with your palms facing in.
  • Start with the right side. Keeping your arm straight (but don't lock that elbow), raise your arm until it's parallel with the floor. You should be able to see your hand in your peripheral vision — your arm isn't directly out to the side, but slightly forward. Exhale, and slowly lower your hand down.
  • Repeat with your left arm.
  • Then lift both arms at the same time.
  • Continue this sequence of right, left, together, right, left, together, for a total of 10 to 12 reps. Do two sets.

• Triceps Dips: To tone your triceps — the muscles on the backside of your upper arm that run from your shoulder to your elbow — do triceps dips. It's a great, basic exercise that requires little equipment.
  
  • Position your hands shoulder width apart on a secured bench or stable chair.
  • Move your booty in front of the bench with your legs bent and feet placed about hip width apart on the floor.
  • Straighten your arms and keep a slight bend in your elbows — this maintains the tension on your triceps and off your elbow joints.
  • Slowly bend your elbows and lower your upper body toward the floor until your elbows are at about a 90-degree angle. Be sure to keep your back close to the bench.
  • Once you reach the bottom of the movement, slowly straighten your elbows, pushing yourself up to return to the starting position.
  • Repeat for a total of 12-15 times. Do two sets.
• Hammer Curls to Overhead Press: Hammer curls to overhead presses work the biceps, but serve double duty by also helping you achieve Kate's shapely shoulders.
  
  • Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
  • Pick up a set of three- to eight-pound weights, with your palms facing in toward your legs.
  • Inhale as you bend your elbows, raising your hands toward your shoulders with your palms still facing in.
  • As you exhale, straighten your arms up over your head.
  • Inhale to lower your elbows back down toward your ribs.
  • Then exhale, straightening your arms back down toward your legs.
  • Repeat for a total of 12-15 times. Do two sets.

• Reverse Flies: Reverse flies are a great exercise for toning and strengthening the upper back.
  
  • Sit on a chair or the end of a bench.
  • Place a light dumbbell (around five pounds) in each hand and lean over your thighs. Don't collapse onto your legs, but keep your chest about six inches from your quads. Straighten your spine and engage your abs.
  • Maintain this position in your torso as you lift both arms up, drawing your elbows back and squeezing your shoulder blades together. Lower the dumbbells back toward the ground with control.
  • Do three sets of 12 to 15 reps.

Weight Watchers is Not an Ideal Diet for Diabetics

By Descygna Webb for DietsInReview.com

November is diabetes awareness month, and we want to help the 25 million Americans living with this disease make smarter choices to help manage and even reverse it. Those suffering from type 2 diabetes are in need of a healthy eating plan that can help them lose weight while managing their diabetes.

While Weight Watchers is one of the most popular diet programs available (it's number one on our Best Diets of the Year list), it is not designed for diabetics. Weight Watchers has a nearly 50-year history, and the program embraces several principles of healthy living making it ideal for most people who want to lose weight in a sustainable way. However, because Weight Watchers is not for diabetics, if you truly want to participate in the program, it's advised that you seek advice from your physician for adaptations that can work for your dietary needs.

One thing that can make Weight Watchers somewhat difficult to follow for those with type 2 diabetes is the fact that you cannot convert the PointsPlus program values into diabetes exchanges or grams of carbohydrates. Another reason is that Weight Watchers recommends that diabetics choose foods with a low glycemic index. If you choose to follow a low GI diet, you really have no need for the Weight Watchers PointsPlus program.

Weight Watchers is a lifestyle program that is better suited for those who have not been told to follow a specific diet or exercise regimen by their doctor. The DietsInReview.com resident pharmacist, Dr. Sarah Khan, warns that carbohydrates don't have enough of a focus on the program.

"The diabetic diet consists of eating less than 130 carbs per day and Weight Watchers may not have a clear diabetic guideline for that," she said. "When I say carbs I mean whole grains like whole wheat pasta, bread, and brown rice. They have a lesser effect on blood sugar. Eating things like pasta, breads and rice that are not whole grain make the sugar go up dramatically and in type 2 diabetics this can force insulin levels up as well. I encourage people to go on diabetic diets and to eat nutrient dense food like lean meats, protein and fiber rich foods."

Thankfully, there are helpful options for those with diabetes who want, or need, to lose weight. The key is to find a diet program that can safely meet your needs as a diabetic without being too complicated. As Dr. Khan says, find a program that includes healthy foods and the proper types of carbs. Always seek advice from your physician or nutritionist for assurance that you are following a plan that is appropriate for your health needs.

"For diabetics specifically we focus on the DASH diet (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension) which is high in fruits and vegetables, low-fat or non-fat dairy and whole grains," said Dr. Khan.

The Latest Science on Happiness

If you're a cheery person, you may have your DNA to thank. Researchers from the London School of Economics and Political Science found that people tend to be more satisfied with their lives if they possess a version of the 5-HTT gene that is more efficient at transporting the mood-boosting neurotransmitter serotonin.

Making joy a goal may not be the best idea. According to a study in the journalEmotion, women who place a high premium on happiness tend to be more depressed, perhaps because they feel disappointed with their failure to meet their high standards.

A rigorous review in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine showed that for depressed people, finding contentment may be as simple as doing nice things: "Positive activity interventions"—such as performing acts of kindness, counting one's blessings, and writing letters of gratitude—reversed apathy, stimulated the brain's pleasure circuits, and restored happiness.
