The Love Your Shape Workout

Apple

You're an apple if you tend to carry fat around your midsection

Your goal: Burn flab everywhere, with an emphasis on moves to work your waistline.

Your plan: "Apples need to focus on developing a strong core and building lean muscle in the lower body to help balance the top half," says Mak. The key is to use lighter weights with more reps for your upper body and heavier ones with fewer reps for your legs and butt. Do triple supersets to increase your heart rate and blast fat, and since abdominal fat is particularly stubborn, increase the intensity of your cardio sessions.
