The Ultimate Flab-Fighting Workout

Jab Cross

What you'll need: two resistance bands (Try Spri Flat Bands, $5 to $7, spri.com.)

Targets back, arms, abs, obliques, and legs

Tie ends of a resistance band together to make a loop. Stand with feet hip-width apart and place band around ankles. Step back with right leg until you feel resistance in band, knees slightly bent.
Wrap second band around upper back and grip ends with fists (wrap band around fists to pick up slack). Bend elbows by ribs; bring fists to chin level.
Punch forward with left arm, palm down, and then bring arm back to start.
Pivot toward left on toes of right foot as you punch right arm forward, slightly toward left, palm down. Return to start.
Do 3 sets of 8 reps. Switch sides; repeat.
