Target Practice: Trouble Spot Toning Exercises

 

Perky Pendulum
Perky Pendulum

Trouble Zone: Butt
Why it hits the spot: In squats and other butt firmers, supporting muscles, such as the quads, are giving your booty a break. With your leg fully extended in midair, all the lift is coming from the glutes.

Targets: Back, butt, and hamstrings

  • Stand with feet together, arms by sides.
  • Extend right arm (parallel to ground) and right leg (as high as you can) behind you, rotating body slightly so that right hip faces up, foot flexed; extend left arm diagonally up in front of you.
  • Slowly hinge at hips to tilt torso forward, keeping right leg lifted behind you and reaching left fingertips toward ground.
  • Return to start. Do 5 reps. Switch sides; repeat. Do 2 sets.
