The New Mercedes A-Class
New design idiom
A true Mercedes. And yet so very different. The new A-Class will surprise you with its fresh, sporty design that blends emotive appeal with individualistic character and strikes a completely new note in the compact vehicle segment. The Mercedes-Benz design team were crowned "Team of the Year" in 2011 by a top-ranking jury of industry experts. To configure your A-Class further, just select from each of three design and equipment lines and three design packages with differing emphases - and create your very own, very individual new A-Class.
Exterior
.Striking lines, dynamically curved surfaces and a window line that calls to mind a coupé all go to make up the sporty and emotional exterior of the A-Class. The significantly modified dimensions, with greater width and distinctly reduced height, contribute to its athletic appearance. The pronounced arrow-shaped front section and expressive radiator grille give the A-Class both an air of self-confidence and a decidedly energetic look. The flanks, with two striking structural lines, and the powerfully muscular rear wings give a feeling of forwards thrust even when the car is at a standstill. The coupé-like side line with the curved roof, beltline rising towards the rear and long, narrow, glass area emphasises the sporty appearance of the new A-Class. The B-pillar is covered by the "frame under glass" design of the door. The distinctly wide rear end with horizontal structuring exudes power and athleticism. This is thanks to the bicolour tail lamps, which extend well into the sides of the vehicle. At night an innovative lighting design gives the new A-Class an exciting aura.
Interior
A love of detail comes through in the high-quality interior with its sporty ambience. The shapes, surfaces and materials go together to form a high-quality and harmonious whole and meet the highest standards, both visually and haptically.
The cockpit combines a sporty ambience with ergonomic styling and layout. The result: undiluted driving enjoyment, with the comfort so typical of Mercedes-Benz. Various design and equipment lines as well as design packages (Exclusive package and AMG Exclusive package) allow you to individualise your interior to lend it a stylish, urban, sporty or exclusive tone. Three seating variants ensure ergonomic comfort. A large selection of attractive fabric covers and colours provide many versatile possibilities for individualization. Exclusive fittings, such as the upper section of instrument panel upholstered in ARTICO man-made leather as part of the Exclusive package (optional) or the ambient lighting which comes in conjunction with the Light and Sight package (optional), characterize the sporty interior of the new A-Class. Depending on the design and equipment line or design package, high-quality trim is applied to the vent openings, the armrests in the doors and to many controls. The generous use of decorative stitching, either in the fittings colour or a contrasting colour, for the seats, steering wheel, armrests and doors, lends a touch of exclusivity.

10 Workout Secrets to staying fir this winter From the Pros Experts and successful exercisers reveal the top tips and tricks they use to get the most from their fitness routines.
By Carol Sorgen
WebMD Feature
Reviewed by Michael W. Smith,
Getting and staying fit can be a challenge. For
many of us, it's hard just to get up off the couch.
So what's the secret of people who have
managed to make exercise a way of life?
1. Be Consistent
Chase Squires is the first to admit that he's no
fitness expert. But he is a guy who used to
weigh 205 pounds, more than was healthy for
his 5'4" frame. "In my vacation pictures in 2002, I
looked like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man at
the beach," says the 42-year-old Colorado
resident. Squires decided enough was enough,
cut out fatty food, and started walking on a
treadmill. The pounds came off and soon he was
running marathons -- not fast, but in the race. He
ran his first 50-mile race in October 2003 and
completed his first 100-miler a year later. Since
then, he's completed several 100-mile, 50-mile,
and 50k races.
His secret? "I'm not fast, but I'm consistent,"
says Squires, who says consistency is his best
tip for maintaining a successful fitness regimen.
"It all started with 20 minutes on a treadmill," he
says. "The difference between my success and
others who have struggled is that I did it every
single day. No exercise program in the world
works if you don't do it consistently."
2. Follow an Effective Exercise Routine
The American Council on Exercise (ACE)
recently surveyed 1,000 ACE-certified personal
trainers about the best techniques to get fit.
Their top three suggestions:
Strength training. Even 20 minutes a day
twice a week will help tone the entire
body.
Interval training. "In its most basic form,
interval training might involve walking for
two minutes, running for two, and
alternating this pattern throughout the
duration of a workout," says Cedric
Bryant, PhD, FACSM, chief science
officer for ACE. "It is an extremely time-
efficient and productive way to exercise."
Increased cardio/aerobic exercise.
Bryant suggests accumulating 60
minutes or more a day of low- to
moderate-intensity physical activity, such
as walking, running, or dancing.
3. Set Realistic Goals
"Don't strive for perfection or an improbable goal
that can't be met," says Kara Thompson,
spokesperson for the International Health
Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA).
"Focus instead on increasing healthy behaviors."
In other words, don't worry if you can't run a 5K
just yet. Make it a habit to walk 15 minutes a
day, and add time, distance, and intensity from
there.
4. Use the Buddy System
Find a friend or relative whom you like and trust
who also wants to establish a healthier lifestyle,
suggests Thompson. "Encourage one another.

Exercise together. Use this as an opportunity to
enjoy one another's company and to strengthen
the relationship."
5. Make Your Plan Fit Your Life
Too busy to get to the gym? Tennis star Martina
Navratilova, health and fitness ambassador for
the AARP, knows a thing or two about being
busy and staying fit.
Make your plan fit your life, she advises in an
article on the AARP web site. "You don't need
fancy exercise gear and gyms to get fit."
If you've got floor space, try simple floor
exercises to target areas such as the hips and
buttocks, legs and thighs, and chest and arms
(like push-ups, squats, and lunges). Aim for 10-
12 repetitions of each exercise, adding more
reps and intensity as you build strength.
6. Be Happy
Be sure to pick an activity you actually enjoy
doing, suggests Los Angeles celebrity trainer
Sebastien Lagree.
"If you hate weights, don't go to the gym. You
can lose weight and get in shape with any type
of training or activity," he says.
And choose something that is convenient. Rock
climbing may be a great workout, but if you live
in a city, it's not something you'll be doing every
day.
7. Watch the Clock
Your body clock, that is. Try to work out at the
time you have the most energy, suggests Jason
Theodosakis, MD, exercise physiologist at the
University of Arizona College of Medicine. If
you're a morning person, schedule your fitness
activities early in the day; if you perk up as the
day goes along, plan your activities in the
afternoon or evening.
"Working out while you have the most energy
will yield the best results," Theodosakis says.
8. Call In the Pros
Especially if you're first getting started,
Theodosakis suggests having a professional
assessment to determine what types of exercise
you need most.
"For some people, attention to flexibility or to
balance and agility, may be more important than
resistance training or aerobics," he says. "By
getting a professional assessment, you can
determine your weakest links and focus on
them. This will improve your overall fitness
balance."
9. Get Inspired
"Fitness is a state of mind," says fitness
professional and life coach Allan Fine of
Calgary, Alberta, Canada. One of Fine's tricks to
get and stay motivated is to read blogs or web
sites that show him how others have been
successful. "Who inspires you?" he asks.
10. Be Patient
Finally, remember that even if you follow all
these tips, there will be ups and downs,
setbacks and victories, advises Navratilova. Just
be patient, and don't give up, she says on the
AARP web site: "Hang in there, and you'll see
solid results."
