Body Workout Plan

A new twist on lunging can be performed by following these steps:

* Take a large step forward wit the right leg so that it is almost directly in front of the left.

* Bend the right knee until the knee is directly over the right foot. Hold for one second, then step back so that legs are together.

* Repeat the two movements as quickly as possible, maintaining balance.

* After five repetitions, change legs.

* Increase speed, add repetitions, and add weights as you become more familiar with the exercise.

This exercise is renowned for its bottom-firming effects. It also tones the thighs and, with one arm extended, replicates the classic pose of a fencer in attack position.

Squats can be performed by following these steps:

* With arms raised at the sides, place your feet two feet apart and point your toes slightly outward.

* Keeping the torso upright, bend your knees until thighs are parallel to the floor.

* Hold the position for one or two seconds, then straighten legs. Control the movement and maintain good form throughout the exercise. Breathe out on lowering and breathe in when straightening the legs. Perform 10 to 15 repetitions, rest and repeat. As your endurance improves add more repetitions.

Kicking Butt is an easy way to effectively add definition to your bottom. Perform these steps:

* Get down on all fours with legs bent at right angles and hands in line with your shoulders.
