The Drop a Jeans Size Workout

Kickstand

Targets: Abs, obliques, hips, and outer thighs

Lie on floor on right side with knees bent 90 degrees behind you, legs stacked, propped up on right elbow, left hand on hip.
Tighten abs to lift right hip off floor as you raise left knee toward ceiling, then extend left leg, foot flexed, as if kicking. (MAKE IT EASIER: Keep right hip on floor to perform leg lift and kick.) Bend left knee again and lower to start.
Do 8 reps. Switch sides; repeat.

Tip: To get the most hip firming, keep your torso from tipping forward so that your outer thigh is directly opposing gravity.
