The most popular New Year’s resolution has got to be losing weight, but did you know that the majority of those resolutions fall to the wayside by January 20? Crash diets don’t really work. The best way to get in shape is by making simple changes in your everyday routine. And why wait until the new year to start? Read on to find out how you can become a healthier you right now!

On Thursday nights, a.k.a. “Scandal Thursdays”, why not sneak in a couple sets of weights, crunches, and/or jumping jacks in between commercial breaks?

2. Activate your social life.
