Drop 10 Instantly - It's Little Red Dress Time

As we pencil in one more holiday party on our crammed December calendars, it's time to face the dieting music -- you may not drop those 10 pounds in time for the little red dress. But it's not a total lost cause, Fitness Magazine offers this informative slideshow of nine yoga and pilates stretches to instantly deliver a visually longer, leaner you:

• Beginner: Seated Spinal Twist, Hands Clasped, Gentle Cobra
• Intermediate: Cat Cow, Locust, Head-to-Knee
• Advanced (work carefully into these poses, they are demanding): Prayer Twist (ahh, love these), Bow Pose, Lifted Backbend

Ever notice confident people appear taller? That'll be you at the holiday party if you keep up the strengthening stretches. Even better, don't overdo it on the egg nog, visit the gym once for every cookie gorge between now and New Years Eve, keep Holidashing and you'll officially drop those 10 pounds before the ball drops. That's the night to wear the little red dress anyway.
