1.Wake up workout
When your eyes open, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, lean forward until you feel a gentle stretch in your back and hamstrings. Hold; then, using your abs, lower yourself flat. Rest and repeat two more times. Strengthens core.

2.Go for the grains
Sprinkle on a few tablespoons of wheat germ or oat brain into your breakfast. Work up to 3/4 cup of low-sugar whole-grain cereal with at least three grams of fibre per serving, and you'll pass on that doughnut.

3.Add some protein
The more you eat earlier on, the less you eat as the day wears on, research has shown. So after your cereal, add a hard-boiled egg or a part-skim cheese slice to keep you feeling full-and away from that pre-lunch snack.

5.Balance booster
While you brush your teeth, alternate standing on one leg as you switch mouth quadrants (every 30 seconds). Balancing develops your core muscles and may even be good for your brain.

5.Be a ballerina
As your coffee boils, stand sideways, put one hand on the kitchen table, and lift the outside leg straight out in frout of you, keeping it extended. With upper body straight, hold for a few seconds and extent it behind you. Do five to ten times on each leg. Tones outer thighs, hip flexors and quadriceps.

6.Coffee saver
Instead of pouring that 1/3 cup of full-fat milk (a whopping 105 calories!) into your mug, replace it with the same amout of skimmed milk.
