Now watching Up nextWhy You're Not Getting Results at the Gym
If you're working out regularly and not seeing results, it might be time to take a good look at your gym habits. Bahar Takhtehchian is the editor-at-large of Shape magazine, and she shared six mistakes keeping you from getting the results you want.1. Bad posture. "A lot of times you'll be at the gym and you'll see people hunched over," Bahar says. "That's a bad thing because when your body's hunched over, that's causing your muscles to exert more effort to stabilize." Incorrect form also causes your body to use up more oxygen. 2. Working out on an empty stomach. "Up until an hour beforehand, you want to take in 200 to 250 calories, because if you don't have energy, you're not going to be able to actually go through your workout," Bahar says. 3. Chronic stress. Extreme stress causes your body to release the hormone cortisol. "Studies have shown that when you release cortisol, you're not able to recover as well after you work out," Bahar says. "You're also not able to get toned and build those muscles." Try yoga or meditation to reduce tension. 4. Repeating the same workout. "People are doing the same thing over and over again, whether it's taking cycling classes every day or using the elliptical," Bahar says. Not varying your activity can cause overuse injuries and stagnancy. "Your body gets used to the exercise, so you're not burning as many calories." 5. Getting distracted. "Studies have found that when you're reading or watching TV, you're just not working out as intensely," Bahar says. "Instead, listen to really energizing music. The more beats and the faster the music, the more intense your workout will likely be." 6. Not weight training. Many people are intimated by the idea of weight training or are afraid of bulking up. "The fact of the matter is, when you have more muscle mass, you're actually burning more calories than when you're just sitting," Bahar says. She recommends three days a week of weight training, for 20 to 30 minutes each time.

Now watching Up nextGeorge Stephanopoulos Is Not Impressed
4,300 views
In this "lost episode" of "Daily Shot," Ali interviews her husband. Things get uncomfortable. Many months ago George Stephanopoulos came into the "Daily Shot" studio for an interview. So why hasn't it aired? While George is famous for asking hard-hitting questions on "Good Morning America," we discovered he doesn't like being on the other side of the interview table, especially when Ali is the one asking the questions. The "GMA" host did his best to be a good sport, but it's clear he wasn't altogether comfortable with his wife's "less formal" interview style or "loose interpretation of facts." That said, if you want to find out how often Ali embarrasses George or see how George rates himself against fellow handsome Greek John Stamos, check out this ... the penultimate episode of "Daily Shot"!

Now watching Up nextAmy Schumer on Why You Shouldn't Be Jealous of Her
On the new season of "Inside Amy Schumer" on Comedy Central, viewers can look forward to celebrity guests like Paul Giamatti of "Sideways" and "The Hangover Part II," Zach Braff of "Scrubs," Rachel Dratch of "30 Rock," and Parker Posey, among others. But the show's success doesn't mean it's easier the second time around for host and star Amy Schumer. "They gave us less money, so I'm also playing the extras," Amy jokes. Did she hook up with any of the famous guest stars who appear in Season 2? Nope. "I've never hooked up with anyone who could help my career," she says. "I've been sleeping my way down." Amy was quick to dismiss Ali's jealously over her TV success and upcoming movie, "Train Wreck," directed by Judd Apatow. "I'm lonely, and I don't have any time to enjoy my life," she said. To watch Amy play a hilarious round of "Which Is Worse?" with Ali, check out this episode of "Daily Shot."

Now watching Up nextThe Fans 'Deadliest Catch' Captain Didn't Expect
"Deadliest Catch" follows captains and their crews who risk their lives in fishing vessels in the Bering Sea. One of those captains is Keith Colburn, the head of crab-fishing boat "The Wizard," and even he was surprised when he realized how popular the reality show is with one particular audience. "There's a huge female following," Keith says of the show. The captain recalled a promotion at a supermarket in Texas where he asked a group of excited female fans why they watch. They said, "Seven guys on a boat! All guys and it's real dangerous, duh." The danger might be thrilling to watch on television, but it's completely serious for the captain, who protects his crew in life-threatening situations nearly every year at sea. The scariest situation he's ever been in? Almost losing his entire crew in Season 5. "I took a gigantic wave that almost took out six guys in one fell swoop," Keith says. "That was one of the worst." Wondering what's the best way to beat seasickness? Watch today's "Daily Shot" to find out, and tune in to season 10 of "Deadliest Catch" Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Discovery.
