Thinking about it now, I suppose it's not quite so lazy as it is "working smart"

Yes, you can reduce the amount of time you spend exercising with this little trick.

So if you’d rather not splurge on a gym contract, or if you simply don’t like the gym environment, like me, you may prefer to get fit the good-old-way: jogging.

Sadly though, the good-old-way is not really the safest any more, and you may be hesitant to hit the streets and risk your personal safety.

But Insider Secrets has the solution for you...

Skipping is better than jogging, experts say...

Skipping is three times more effective as an exercise for the cardiovascular system than jogging, and it’s fun.

It’s also great for burning excess body fat.

In just 10 minutes of skipping, you can achieve the health benefits of an hour-long jog! And best of all, you can do it in the safety of your living room or garden.

Aim for 100 skips a minute for 10 minutes every day.
 

What to do when a vegetarian surprises you... 

I almost got myself into a pickle this weekend.

I had some long-time friends over for my famous Sunday roast and low-and-behold, my friend's new boyfriend is vegetarian.

I'm just done with the intoductions when my friend whispers, "Did you get my message? Robert is a vegetarian.”

I could have killed her!

But then I remembered a trick I'd read a while ago.

So, I poured them some drinks and got busy... You can do this too, the next time a vegetarian surprises you:

Take a tin of baked beans or tomatoes, stir in some wine, with a selection of herbs and spices you have handy (oregano, Italian mixed herbs, paprika, salt, pepper).

Pour the mixture over the vegetables, add cheese on the top, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

The result: a tasty vegetable bake. And a happy vegetarian guest.

Here’s to your happiness and wellbeing,
