The Short Shorts Workout

 

90-Degree Lift

What you'll need: A yoga mat (or a bath towel and a chair)

Targets: Butt, outer and inner thighs

  • Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding one end of rolled-up mat (or chair back) in front of you with both hands.
  • Bend knees slightly and hinge forward from hips, extending arms to plant vertical mat on floor a few feet in front of left foot so that back is parallel to floor.
  • Keep both hands on top of mat for support and extend right leg out to side, toes pointed.

90-Degree Lift B

  • Keeping abs engaged, back flat, and mat upright, exhale as you lift right leg out to side as high as possible. Hold for 3 seconds, then lower leg.
  • Do 10 to 15 reps, holding the last leg lift for 10 seconds. Switch legs and repeat.
