Stronger! Sexier! Your new summer body plan
Can't face months of hard work to ditch those extra winter
kilos? Problem solved - our at-home workout will set you on the
road to summer-ready in a matter of weeks.
The Bum Firmer
Say goodbye to saddle bags (excess weight on your sides)! These
leg raises will tighten up your bottom and work your core as
well.
* Start on your hands and knees holding a dumbbell in your right
hand. Lift it out straight ahead of you.
* At the same time, squeeze your glutes and raise your left leg as
high as you can behind you, keeping the knee bent. Remember to keep
your back straight and not drop your stomach throughout.
* Bring your leg and arm back slowly to the start position, and
swap sides. Aim for 10 reps on each side.
The Love-Handle Blaster
* Targeting your obliques (the muscles at the sides of your
abdomen), these leg lifts will both shrink and define your
waist.
* Lie on the floor (on a mat if you prefer) on your right side,
legs straight. Squeeze your bottom and pull your belly button back
in towards your spine.
* Rest your head on your arm. Place your left hand on the floor in
front of you for balance. Flex your feet.
* Keep your left leg straight and raise it in line with your body
until you feel your obliques tightening, and hold for a couple of
seconds. Lower your leg with control. Aim for 10 reps on each
side.
