Alison Sweeney's Couch Workout

Thigh-Frying Wood Chop

Targets: Shoulders, abs, obliques, butt, and legs

Tie one end of band to couch leg and hold other end with both hands. Stand with feet hip-width apart so that couch is a few feet to your right and you feel resistance in the band, hands by right hip.
Lower into squat, knees bent about 90 degrees, then pull band diagonally up with arms extended from right hip to above left shoulder. Maintain squat as you rotate torso.
Do 15 reps.
Switch sides, with couch on your left, and repeat.

Trainer's Tip: Squeeze a towel between your knees during this move to add inner-thigh toning.
