12．Ways to improve your life
Most diet and fitness plans are like long cross-country car rides．They eventually get you where you want to go，but along the way you are uncomfortable．（11）C The following tips don't emphasize how much weight to lift or what kinds of foods to eat．Instead，they improve how you exercise and diet，and will put you on the fast track to the body you want．
Pay attention to your rest．
Most people know how many sets they plan to do in a period of physical exercise，but not many know how much time they will spend resting between sets．This is a mistake．（12）D To improve your exercise，you need to keep track of how much rest you take between sets，and know whether or not it is the right amount of rest for you to reach your goals．
Pick exercises that you feel right．
（13）E You also need to be cautious about any exercise that causes you any kind of unnatural joint（关节） pain．If you are feeling a move more in your joints and connective tissues than your muscles，find a different way to take exercise．Don't stick with an exercise just because you heard it was a great one．
（14）B
Place a table in your house where you will have your meals or snacks without the television，newspaper，computer or smartphone around to distract （使分心） you，and you will automatically become more mindful of what you are putting in your mouth---and therefore more likely to make better food choices or eat less．
Get a juicing machine．
Start juicing．Just do it．You'll be amazed at how many delicious and nutritional cocktails you can make．Try kale，apples and ginger to come alive，or carrots and ginger for great skin．Or make some fresh pineapple juice to welcome people into your home with happiness．
Take pictures of yourself．
When I want to get thinner，I take a picture of myself in a bikini （比基尼） and post it in visible places．（15）F It's an objective look at where you are，and a constant motivator to eat healthily and stick with your exercise．
A．Create your specific plan．
B．Eat in a distraction-free area．
C．But what if you could take a first-class flight？
D．Taking a one-or two-minute rest does not help．
E．Be very careful when performing exercises that stress your lower back．
F．Places such as the bathroom，fridge and computer monitor are all great choices．
G．With all the equipment in the gym these days，there is no excuse not to track your rest intervals．
