Doctors aren’t sure why women tend to store fat in their butts and thighs, but they think it has to do with saving up for the demands of pregnancy. (Isn’t biology a bitch?) So even celebrities like Alicia Keys and Eva Mendes have to work at whipping those trouble spots into shape. Their secret weapon? Trainer Harley Pasternak, author of
The 5-Factor Diet (Ballantine Books). Since you deserve a hot body too, we asked Harley to create a workout just for us.
‘These movements, which hit your butt and thighs simultaneously, are isolateral, meaning they work equally both sides of your lower body to ensure that you’ll look proportionate,’ says Harley.
Start with three sets of 20 reps two times per week. Depending on genetics and diet, you should see a difference within weeks.
