Warrior lunges

“This exercise is excellent for toning the entire lower half of the body,” says McGee, noting it targets the quads and hamstrings to sculpt and slim the thighs. Another boon: Pulling the resistance band will engage the rear deltoids to slim and tone the shoulders.

TO DO: Stand with your feet together. Hold the band with both hands, about 6" apart, and extend your hands out in front of you. Step forward with your left foot and lower into a lunge. As you do, pull your right hand back toward your shoulder, then return to start. Do 10 reps, then switch sides.
