Time for targeted training

Credit: Nathaniel Welch

We all have body parts that we consider less than stellar, but I don't like to call them " problem areas." This negative self-talk does nothing but drag you down. Instead ask yourself, Where in my figure is there an imbalance? It's a small shift in language and perspective that puts you in an achiever mind-set so you're prepared to take the necessary steps to reach workout success. This workout targets the places women typically find to be out of balance—core, underarms and along the outer thighs. As your body gets into proper proportion, you'll notice that you feel stronger, too.

With this

sculpting series, you'll work your way through moves that hit a multitude of muscles for better body symmetry, stat. Do the sequence in order, and pair with 30 to 60 minutes of cardio. Aim to sweat six times a week for the quickest, best results.

Start with feet slightly wider than hip-width apart, holding a 3-pound weight in each hand. Bend elbows, bringing hands to chest height and slightly in front of body (A). Rotate arms so that palms face down, then punch straight out to sides (B). Return arms to chest height, this time squeezing shoulder blades together and bringing arms behind body before punching out.
