How to Do It: Pick any three or four exercises from this list and perform in a circuit with no more than 30 seconds rest (1 minute in some cases) -- one exercise followed by the next. Rest, then repeat the circuit. Abdominal masochists like Matthew McConaughey can do all six in the circuit, then repeat.

Sit on top of the Swiss ball with your legs in front of you, feet flat on the floor, and hands behind your head. Keeping your feet flat on the floor, slowly lean back along the ball until your head, shoulders, and back are lying comfortably along its surface. Slowly curl and lift your shoulders and upper back up from the ball as you simultaneously draw your left knee toward your chest. Lower your left foot back down as you lower your torso down to the ball. Repeat the motion, this time raising your right knee up toward your chest as you crunch up. Keep the ball still. Lower yourself back down and repeat the exercise, alternating between your left leg and your right.

Watching those makeover shows on TV, you might think the only way to change your body is to recruit a pack of plastic surgeons and line up a camera crew to record it for prime time. With all due respect to the geniuses who produce network TV, we heartily disagree. When it comes to building new muscle, a few tweaks to your diet and fitness routine may be all you need to unleash your potential. But, just to be safe, we'll spot you a hundred. Use them, and you may want to call that camera crew after all.

1. Pinch to grow an inch.

To strengthen your grip, try this plate pinch from Strongman competitor C.J. Murphy: Place a pair of 5- or 10-pound plates together, smooth sides out. Pinch the plates between your thumbs and forefingers. Try holding the weights for 30 seconds. Add plates as you gain strength. And watch your toes.

Did you know there are more than 15 types of saturated fat? And despite the fact that they've been damned as a whole by nutrition experts for decades, some of them are actually heart healthy. That's good news, since high-fat foods are often the tastiest.

But a bad reputation is hard to shake. And though saturated fat is the most obvious example of a bad food gone good, it's not the only one. I've run the numbers and scoured the research to determine which vilified foods have been unjustly convicted. The result: six snacks and drinks that deserve an immediate pardon.   

PORK RINDS

Why you think they're bad: These puffy snacks are literally cut from pigskin. Then they're deep-fried.

Why they're not: A 1-ounce serving contains zero carbohydrates, 17 grams (g) of protein, and 9 g fat.

"The key to adding mass to any large muscle group, such as the chest, is varying the type of stress you put on it," says Michael Y. Seril, N.S.C.A.-C.P.T., owner of Michael Seril Fitness, a personal-training company in Orange County, California. "Try combining these two movements into one exercise," he says. It's sort of a "press-fly." The bonus: You'll save time, because you'll be doing more work with less rest between exercises.
