10 easy tricks to melt inches

1. Pedal away pounds. Mountain bike for a scenic slimming 11 minutes, or take a spin around your neighborhood for 17 minutes. Whatever you do, don't forget your helmet!

2. Play dodgeball with the little ones for 19 minutes of calorie-blasting, fat-fighting fun!

3. Run around. Take to the pavement or treadmill for a jog and erase nearly 10 calories per minute.

4. Boogie down! Bust out your favorite dance moves for a 20-minute sweat session that feels like a party.

5. Swim yourself slim. Glide through the pool for 15 minutes with a consistent crawl stroke. Or tread water for 10 minutes to get the same sizzle.

6. Go on a hike. Climb a pretty trail for 16 minutes.

7. Strike a yoga pose. Doing a soothing 15 minutes of Vinyasa yoga on your lunch break can vanquish stress and calories.

8. Shoot hoops. Incinerate calories with a quick 16-minute game of basketball. H-O-R-S-E, anyone?

9. Dig in the dirt. Gardening for 20 minutes yields a gorgeous yard -- and a trimmer you.

10. Hit the beach volleyball court. Bump, set and spike your way to a scorching-hot bikini body in 12 minutes.
