"   Last week, I met with exercise physiologist Teresa Tapp, whose book Fit and Fabulous in 15 Minutes and DVDs like T-Tapp Total Workout have helped women everywhere increase their strength, flexibility and weight-loss results without spending tons of time at the gym. I was most inspired by the quick fitness fixes she said we could all make to keep our bodies trim and our muscles toned. Here are some of my favorite T-Tapp tricks:  Thumbs Away  Rotate your shoulders back and point your thumbs away from your body rather than pointing your thumbs forward as you do in a normal gait. Do this by flipping your palms forward, making a fist and twisting your thumbs to the wall behind you as far as you can. You should feel your back muscles and arms wake up if you walk in this position.  On Your Toes Fight off knee fat deposits and work your upper thighs while you walk by balancing the majority of your weight onto your outer three toes, says Tapp. This works the outer thigh, can improve balance and helps to rebuild the arch of the foot, which flattens with aging. If you walk with your feet turned out (like a duck), focus on positioning your feet forward to help reshape your body.     Tuck the Tummy, Ribs Up Stand with your feet hip width apart and bend your knees. Tuck your butt under, squeeze in your tummy and lift your ribs up to activate your core muscles. You can do this while sitting, standing or walking to reduce lower body inflammation and cinch your waistline. Tip: Try doing this move against the wall to ensure you have proper form. If you have only 15 minutes to work out on busy days, what do you do? Tell us in comments!- Dana Gottesman "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
