High Intensity Training
Next time you go out for your aerobic training, add some intensity (Make certain you visit your doctor first to see if you are physically fit enough to do so)
If you walk or jog, walk or jog as usual for a period and then throw in a sprint of 20 seconds (more or less depending on what you are capable of). Return to your regular pace and recover. Recovery time varies but should become less as you increase your fitness level.
Do it again. Try to work up to about 8 sprinting sessions. Feel free to vary the length of time you sprint and also the number of times you so so.
During recovery periods your heart will continue to beat at a high rate, giving you an extraordinary benefit.
It has been proven you will lose more weight doing this high intensity exercise and your workouts will be shorter. Heck of a benefit, huh?!

Forearm Isometric Exercise
Here is a good isometric exercise you can do anywhere for your forearms.
*Sit in a chair and reach down and grab the sides of the chair.
*Pull up as hard as you can, like you are trying to lift the seat while you are sitting in it.
*Hold this for about 30 seconds.
*Slowly release.
If done correctly, and it's hard not to do this exercise correctly, you should feel it in your forearms and your hands and wrist.
