    Diane Wilkes, personal trainer and nutrition expert, joins me in the kitchen to give some tips on how to stay toned and healthy in the kitchen. Often overlooked are some simple exercises you can do right at your counter or with a kitchen towel. They are perfect to do with those spare minutes while you cook.  I show you how to make a delicious protein snack of Roasted Chickpeas with Parmesan, and a fabulous refreshing drink to stay hydrated - Green Tea with Cucumbers, Lemon and Ginger.

    Watch the video to see how to do counter pushups, counter squats, leg stretches, and a great back stretch with a kitchen towel! Also click to get my recipe for Roasted Chickpeas with Parmesan and Green Tea with Cucumber, Lemon, and Ginger.
