Get First Lady Fit

It's hard not to be a little jealous of Michelle Obama. She has a smart, hot husband, killer clothes, and those awesomely cut arms. We've been wondering what kind of workout the US first lady does… and how we can snag the same results.

The identity of Michelle Obama's trainer is a well-guarded secret. So, we asked Ramona Braganza, who trains celebs like Halle Berry, to put together this fine-tuned workout. She says the trick to building triceps, biceps, and shoulders as lean and balanced as Michelle's is to combine cardio and strength training - Michelle has said she lifts weights and runs regularly. You'll need to work each of the muscles separately and finish by engaging all three at once. Our workout does that in just 15 minutes, three times a week. Do 20 reps of each move, using 2.3- to 3.6-kilogram weights, and begin and end with three minutes of cardio.




ONE-LEG LATERAL RAISE: For strapless-worthy shoulders Start by bending your right knee at a 90-degree angle and raising it to hip height; tightening your abs will help you balance. Then, lift both arms out to your sides, elbows slightly bent, until they're parallel to the floor. Pause, and lower the weights. That's one rep. Complete 10 with your right knee raised, then 10 with your left.
LUNGING CURL: To score supercut biceps
OVERHEAD EXTENSION: To tighten tricep jiggle
TOTAL-ARM KNOCKOUT: To get definition without bulk
