Tips
5 Quick Fitness & Toning Tips
Posted on Sunday, 16 May, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Your big red carpet moment is here!
If you need to look great, and a tight pair of Spanx can’t suck everything in – here are 5 quick moves that target the 5 areas that will show up on your close-up:


- Triceps
- Biceps
- Shoulders
- Upper-back
- Calfs


Included is a cardio fat-melting move to slim all over. Grab a pair of 10 pound weights and get started.


Move 1: Cardio Squat Trusts
What it does: Melts fat, increases metabolism, lifts chest, firms shoulders, tightens abs and tones quads, glutes and calves.
How to do it: Perform this move to an 8 count with your favorite up-temp music. Do 2 jumping jacks (counts 1,2) touch the floor with your hands and jump back to a plank (counts 3,4), do a pushup (counts 5,6) jump back to standing (counts 7,8.)
Repeat: 10 times


Move 2: French Press Calf Raises
What it does: Tones back of the arms for sleeveless dresses, and calves for short skirts.
How to do it: Begin standing up with one heavy weight (ie 10 pounds) and hold it overhead in both hands. Lower the weights behind your head, keeping elbows and triceps close to your face. Press back up for one rep and as you lift the weight, rise up onto the balls of your feet. Lower on to our heels as you lower the weight each time.
Repeat: 10 times


Move 3: Reach For The Stars
What it does: Sculpts shoulders and strengthens obliques.
How to do it: Stand with a 10 pound weight in each hand. Raise right hand to shoulder level. Bend to your left, sliding left hand and weight down your leg as you push the right hand weight to the sky. Return to standing and lower right hand weight to the shoulder. Focus on tightening abs (obliques on our right) in order to lift the body back to an upright position.
Repeat: Perform 10 times on each side


Move 4: Martini Shaker
What it does: Works biceps and obliques for an hourglass photo pose.
How to do it: Sit on a mat with one 10 pound weight and lean back at a 45 degree angle. Lift both legs off the ground. Place the fat ends of the weight in each palm. Drop the weight into the palm of the right hand and turn your body to the right. Return to center with legs lifted and then drop the weight into the left palm and turn to your left
Repeat: Pretend the weight is a drink shaker and create your concoction with 20 reps


Move 5: Plank Rows
What it does: Works upper back, for backless and halter dresses, shoulders and abdominals for a tight tummy pose.
How to do it: Put a 10 pound weight in each hand and support yourself on top of them in a plank position, hands directly under shoulders and toes on the ground, knees lifted. Your heels, hips and shoulders should form a straight line, like a plank or a board. From here, lift the right weight off the ground to your ribcage and push your elbow to the sky on the other side for one rep.
Repeat: Perform 10 repetitions
Do moves 1-5 three times for a complete 30-minute multitasking workout sure to mold your body into shape wherever your dress style shows skin.
