Hip Trimmer

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, your hands clasped in front of chest, and elbows out to each side.
2. Lunge your left leg out to the left side, and bend your left knee about 90 degrees while keeping your right leg straight; your left knee should stay in line with your left toes.

Dip and Crunch

Targets shoulders, triceps, abs, and obliques

1. Sit on the floor with your knees slightly bent, heels on floor and hands by hips, fingers facing forward. (Make it harder by sitting on the edge of a chair with palms on the seat beside your hips, then scooting your butt forward off seat)
2. Bend elbows 90 degrees behind you, or as far as you can go without resting on the floor.
3. Straighten arms while lifting right knee toward chest. Lower heel to floor and repeat dip-and-crunch combination.
4. Do 12 reps, alternating sides.

Belly and Booty Firmer

Targets abs, obliques, butt, and hamstrings

1. Lie on your back on the floor with your knees bent, heels on floor and arms at each side.
2. Extend your left leg toward the ceiling and keep your foot flexed. (Make it easier by keeping both feet on the floor).
3. Lift your hips and squeeze your glutes. Hold for 1 count, then lower your hips.
4. Keeping left leg raised throughout, crunch up, reaching hands toward left foot.
5. Return to start.
6. Do 12 reps.
7. Switch sides and repeat.

Thread the Needle

1. Start on the floor in the full push-up position - with your arms extended, hands aligned under your shoulders, and legs extended behind you.
2. Bring your left knee towards your right elbow.
3. Return to start, then lift your right hand out to your right side and tap the floor. (Make it harder by doing the move quickly, like mountain climbing).
