MOVE 1:- Sumo Lunges to a Side Kick to a Squat Jump



These are great for shaping and toning your outer thighs, hamstrings, and butt. Start with your feet shoulder-width distance apart (A). Lift your right leg from the knee and move it in a circular roundhouse (B). Land out to the side, feet wider than when you started, and immediately squat down (channeling a sumo wrestler) (C). As you come out of the squat, lift your right leg and kick out, leading with your heel (D). Finish the move with a squat jump, making sure to land in your heels, placing emphasis in your butt (E). That's one rep.

MOVE 2:- Plié Toe Squats



This will blast your inner thighs, butt, and core! Start with your feet wider than shoulder-width distance apart and turned out at 45-degree angles, with your hands on your hips (A). As you squat down, simultaneously lift your heels up as high as you can (B). Return to start. That's one rep.


MOVE 3:- Platypus Walks



This is one of my all-time favorite signature moves! It hits your inner thighs and the lower part of your butt. Start in a plié squat position with your hands behind your head and your thighs parallel to the floor (A). Stay engaged in the plié squat as you waddle forward, stepping left foot in front of the right (B), right foot in front of the left (C). Make sure your knees stay out and your weight stays in your heels throughout the exercise. Take five total steps forward, then reverse. That's one rep. Repeat five times.


MOVE 4:- Single Leg Deadlift



Start with your feet shoulder-width distance apart (A). Balancing on your right leg, bend at the waist and reach your left hand down to your right foot; extend your left leg straight behind you (B). Make sure to keep both hips square (facing down) during the movement. Return to the starting position. That's one rep.


MOVE 5:- Plank with Knee Tuck to Hip Abduction



Start in a plank position (A). Bring your right knee in towards your left shoulder (B). Instead of placing your right foot back on the floor, extend (abduct) your leg out to the side (C). That's one rep.


MOVE 6:- Plank with Dumbbell Row to a Triceps Extension



Start in a plank position, holding a five-pound dumbbell in your right hand (A). Leading with your elbow, lift the dumbbell up to your side (B), then extend your arm out straight behind you (C). Reverse the movement to return to the starting position. That's one rep.
