You are down to those last few pounds to lose and your scale refuses to budge! Sometimes what your body needs is a no-holds, barred shake-up, or a little extra oomph to power you through the plateau. Those ten pounds won’t know what hit them!

You have left the gym floor drenched every day since last week. You have denied yourself the tiniest of tasty morsels to get yourself over the hump, and all of your hard work, what has it amounted to? Ten lousy pounds left taunting you, reminding you that you are not done yet. Those last ten pounds are sticking to you like glue and short of a hunger-strike, you don’t know what your next move should be to rid yourself of them. Well we have the solution that adds up to blasting those ten pounds and keeping them away, never to bother you again!

1. Get on the ball! If you are not already using a stability ball during your workouts—trade in your machines for one. This is a small change that can make a big difference for your body and your weight.
