ONING YOU CAN DO ANYWHERE:
Butt busters: Concentrate on tensing your buttocks. Hold for 20 seconds before relaxing for 10 seconds. Repeat 20 times.

LOVE HANDLES + HIPS + STOMACH:
Flutter kicks
This exercise strengthens your tummy and hip flexors.
Step 1 - Lie on your back
Step 2 – Tuck your hands under your butt
Step 3 - Keep the lower back in contact with the ground by keeping the hands clenched so the hips are slightly lifted. Keep looking at your belly button and keep your legs nice and straight
Step 4 - Repeat for 20 seconds. Break then repeat. Do three sets if you can!
Beach Body Abs
Step 1 - Lie on your back with your right leg bent at about 90º and your left leg straight out in front of you, about three or four inches off the ground. Have your fingers at each side of your head, elbows out.
Tip: Lie on an exercise mat or carpet for this one!
Step 2 - Lift your upper body as though you were doing a crunch, turning it slightly to touch your left elbow to your right knee.
Step 3 - Alternate, touching your right elbow to your left knee etc. Your legs should move in a slow continuous pedalling motion. Make sure you stretch your legs out nice and long when it’s their turn to extend!
Step 4 - Repeat 12-15 times (for each leg). When you’re done, place both feet on the ground, and with both hands on the floor on either side of you, ease yourself into a sitting position.
Tip: Lift your body by engaging your core, not by pulling at your neck! Imagining you’re holding something under your chin, like an orange can help keep your head and neck in a good position.
Abs Exercise 1 - Bicycle crunch
The Bicycle exercise is the best move to target the rectus abdominis (that’s the ‘six pack’ area!) and the obliques (the waist), according to a study done by the American Council on Exercise.
1. Lie face up on the floor and lace your fingers behind your head.
2. Bring the knees in towards the chest and lift the shoulder blades off the ground without pulling on the neck.
3. Straight the left leg out to about a 45-degree angle while simultaneously turning the upper body to the right, bringing the left elbow towards the right knee.
4. Switch sides, bringing the right elbow towards the left knee.
5. Continue alternating sides in a ‘pedaling’ motion for 12-16 reps.
Abs Exercise 2 - Longarm crunch
This targets the upper part of the abs, around where your ribs are.
1. Lie on a mat or carpet and extend the arms straight out behind the head with hands clasped, keeping the arms next to the ears.
2. Contract the abs and lift the shoulder blades off the floor.
3. Lower and repeat for 12-16 reps.
Abs Exercise 3 - Vertical crunch
The vertical leg crunch is another effective move for the six pack area of the abs and the obliques.
1. Lie face up on the floor and extend the legs straight up with knees crossed.
2. Contract the abs to lift the shoulder blades off the floor, as though reaching your chest towards your feet.
3. Keep the legs in a fixed position and imagine bringing your belly button towards your spine at the top of the movement.
4. Lower and repeat for 12-16 reps.
Kung Fu Panda
Step 1 - Stand with your feet hip width apart, and your knees relaxed.
Step 2 - Twist your torso to the left, keeping your lower body in start position. As you turn, punch in the same direction with your right arm.
Step 3 - Twist in the opposite direction, this time punching your left arm across your body.
Step 4 - Do 20 of these (40 punches total), then break. Work your way up to three sets.
THIGHS + CALVES: Lie on one side, one arm propping your head up, the other palm down, a few inches away from your tummy. Shift your lower half forward slightly so your legs are at an approx 45˚ angle from your hips. ‘Open’ your top hip by turning your top foot toward the ceiling slightly. Extend the leg so it feels as long as possible, and lift it about a foot into the air, fully pointing your toes toward the ceiling. Move the leg in little circles, keeping your hips and thighs nice and tight. Do 10 circles, then reverse the motion. Lower your leg, and do it on the other side! Tip: keep your tummy tight and don’t let your bottom leg roll around! Stand in front of a wall (about 2 feet in front of it) and lean against it. Slide down until your knees are at about a right angle (or an angle that is comfortable for you) and hold. Be sure to keep your ab muscles nice and tight and don’t forget to breathe! Hold for 10-60 seconds. Stand up again, shake out your legs and repeat. Tip: When you’re getting started, just slide down about 10 centimetres until you get a feel for the exercise and figure out whether your knees can handle it. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can build up your repetitions of this one. Standing calf raises 1. Stand next to a wall or chair for balance, with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Little circle kick
Wall Squat
2. Squat down with your knees bent about 30 degrees, so they are almost directly over your toes. Looking down, you should be able to see your toes.
3. Tighten your buttocks and abdominal muscles and lift your heels off the ground. Hold for 3 to 5 seconds. Return your heels to the ground.
4. Perform two to three sets of 15 to 20 repetitions every second day.

How it works Technique tips:
BUTT + THIGH SLIDE WORKOUT:
It might help to wear socks and do this on tiles/wooden flooring.
Most workouts like running, walking or cycling train your muscles in a forward and backward or up and down motion. If you’re into sports like netball, basketball or tennis you’ll be doing a lot more in a side-to-side motion. Slide training tones and strengthens those muscles of the legs and hips that make lateral motion possible.
Where you’ll feel it
Because you’re going from side-to-side, you’re going to work new muscles you didn’t know you had– like your inner and outer thigh (perfect!), plus parts of your hip and butt that don’t get a lot of action in other sports or workouts.
2. Keep your left foot still and slide the right foot away from you then back again. Tighten the muscles in your left butt and thigh while you’re doing this.3. Slide your left foot away from you, then drag your right foot towards it until both feet are together.
4. Repeat going in the opposite direction. You should feel the muscles of your outer hip and leg working as you drag your feet together.
- Always keep your knees over your toes – don’t let them wobble about or go forward.
- You can control the speed of your slide by dragging your trail leg.
- After 10 minutes you’ll probably be done.
