J. Lo Glute Bridge: Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Focus on squeezing your butt cheeks together as you lift your hips up to the ceiling as high as you can, forming a “bridge” at the highest point. Hold the bridge for a moment while you squeeze your butt as hard as you can, then slowly lower your hips back to the ground. Thats one rep. Do 2-3 sets of 15-20 reps.
Cameron Curl-to-Press: Stand up tall with your shoulders back, holding dumbbells at your sides. Squeeze your biceps (which will bend your elbows) until your palms are in front of your shoulders, facing you. Then press the dumbbells overhead until your arms are straight with your palms facing away from you. Bring the dumbbells slowly down the same way: first to the shoulders, then to your sides. That’s one rep. Do 2-3 sets of 12-15 reps, at a weight that feels very challenging by the last 2 reps.
Angelina Alternating Lunge: Stand up tall with both feet together and your shoulders back. Take a big step forward with one foot, and let the back knee bend almost to the floor. Pause at the bottom and make sure your torso is still nice and tall before your push off your front heel back to your starting position, where you stand tall with both feet together. Do the same thing with the opposite foot. That’s one rep. Do 2-3 sets of 12.
Miley Cyrus Chair Lift: Sit in a stable hard-backed chair with your hands on the sides of the seat next to you. Lean your weight into your hands until you lift off the chair, and pull your knees into your chest until your feet are off the floor. Hold this position for 20-30 seconds. Do 2-3 sets.
Jessica Jab: Stand up tall with your abs tights holding light dumbbells up to your chest in a “fighter” pose. One at a time, punch the air with your dumbbell hard and fast, then return to your start position. Don’t let your body twist. Alternate sides, and do 2-3 sets of 30-45 seconds.
