Boxing Move No. 2: Jab It's time to start throwing punches. Jabs will give you the lean, sculpted arms and shoulders of your dreams. Oh, and you'll definitely boost your heart rate as you're going ham on the punching bag.

1. Start in a boxing stance with your hands to your cheeks, elbows in, and legs slightly bent.

2. Step forward. Using your back leg for power, extend your left arm, and hit the with the knuckles of your index and middle fingers. Be careful not to twist your hips.

3. Jab for a minute and a half on your left side, and a minute and a half on your right. Rest for a minute before continuing on to the next move.

Your heart rate should be elevated at this point, which means your metabolism is starting to torch that unwanted fat. "Anything that spikes your heart rate and then levels out, is going to speed up your metabolism," Hunter says. "But it's very important to get that one-minute rest. It confuses the body, which will keep it burning the fat."
