Want to score luscious legs? Minimise your upper thighs with this lean routine, says fitness consultant Mike Gostigian. 'Women are genetically prone to have fat reserves on their hips,' he says. 'But these exercises will tighten and tone this problem area.' Do two sets of 15 reps of each move, three or four times a week.

Side Lunge	Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed forward, knees slightly bent, and your hands on your hips. Keeping your right leg in position, bend your left knee and lunge to your left side, making sure your knee doesn't extend past your ankle. Hold for a two-second count. Push off of your left leg to step back into starting position. Switch sides and repeat.
