Most "instant results" promises are too good to be true. Not this one. This yoga and Pilates workout will lengthen and strengthen your body and dramatically improve your posture for an instantly longer, leaner shape.

What you'll need: A mat

Targets: Neck, shoulders, back, obliques, and hips

  • Bend right knee and put foot outside of left thigh. Bend left knee and tuck foot by butt.

  • Lift left arm overhead, rotate torso to right, and lower left elbow to right knee. Put right palm on mat.

  • Hold for 5 breaths.

  • Rotate to center, then to left. Return to start.

  • Switch sides; repeat.
