Celebrity Trainer: Michael George, author of Body Express Makeover (Fireside Simon & Schuster, 2005) and trainer to Julianne Moore, Meg Ryan, and Reese Witherspoon
Most people do two to three sets of two to three exercises for each muscle group. You'll get better results if you pick four different exercises that work the same muscle -- do three sets of them back-to-back with no rest in between.
Think squats, lunges, side kicks, and roundhouse kicks for glutes. Focusing on one muscle for three sets of four exercises allows you to work each muscle 25 to 50 percent more thoroughly.
Bonus: You'll finish your workout in half the time.
