The Drop a Jeans Size Workout

Lower-Half Lift

Targets: Back, abs, and butt

Lie facedown on stability ball (belly on center of ball) with arms extended in full push-up position, palms on floor directly below shoulders, and legs extended behind you, feet hip-width apart, toes on floor. (MAKE IT EASIER: Lie facedown on a bench, grasping edges with hands, so that hips rest just at the edge.)
Squeeze glutes to raise legs together as high as you can. Lower.
Do 12 reps.

Tip: To tone different muscle fibers in your derriere, place legs wider apart as you lift, or alternate lifting legs together, then apart.
