Circuit Workout for Women

Tone Up Anytime, Anywhere!

No gym? No problem. All you really need to get super-fit is your own body—it provides enough resistance to sculpt a lean, sexy physique

By Kristen Dold

Squat Thrusts

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms at your sides.
Push your hips back, bend your knees, and lower your body as deep as you can into a squat.
Kick your legs backward, so that you're now in a pushup position.
Then quickly bring your legs back to the squat position.
Stand up quickly and repeat the entire movement.
