Victoria's Secret

First stop on the road to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway? The workout—and it doesn’t have to be at the gym. Angel Candice Swanepoel stars in this do-anywhere routine, which includes five killer moves that’ll fire up your core and define your curves.

Flying T 

A core challenge as you balance, this move also works your butt & legs.

·      Stand on your left leg.

·      Raise your right foot off the floor & bend at the hips until your upper body & straightened right leg are parallel to the floor.  

·      Look forward & extend your arms straight out in front of you, palms facing down.

·      Bracing your core, fly your arms out to your sides at shoulder-level & then back behind you in one fluid motion. That’s one rep.

·      Do this 12 times.

Plank Tuck Jumps

Core work + cardio = one killer, total-body toner.

·      Begin in a diagonal plank position—your upper body out to the right & your feet together.

·      Driving with your core, shift your weight into your hands & hop your feet forward, bending your knees & lifting your hips before landing softly in a crouch. 

·      Quickly jump your feet back out to the left, landing in a diagonal plank position. That’s one rep.

·      Do this 15 times, moving continuously through your reps without pausing.

Single-Leg Squats

Upping the ante on regular squats, this move sculpts legs as stellar as a supermodel’s.

·      Stand tall with feet hip-width apart & arms by your sides.

·      Lower your hips into a squat position & raise your arms in front of you, parallel to the floor.

·      Shift your weight into your right foot, bend your left knee & place your left ankle on your right thigh.

·      Bend your right knee & lower down into a squat, maintaining form.

·      Straighten your right leg & return to standing position. That’s one rep.

·      Do this 15 times. Repeat all reps on the other side.

Side Kicks

Kick your way to a chiseled core—your abs & obliques go into overdrive to stabilize your body throughout the movement.

·      Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, arms bent at 90° angles & hands curled in loose fists just above your shoulders.

·      Shift your weight over to your right foot as you lift your left leg up & out to your side, bending your left knee.

·      Straighten your left knee until your leg forms one straight line out to your side, keeping your foot flexed.

·      Lower your leg back to standing position. That’s one rep.

·      Do this 30 times. Repeat all reps on the other side.

Side Plank Lifts

This move is your secret to a rockin’ waistline—plus it works your shoulders & triceps too!

·      Begin in a right side plank with your left arm in the air.

·      Lower your right hip until it’s an inch away from the floor.

·      Quickly raise it back up to the starting position, keeping your core tight & left arm up throughout the movement. That’s one rep.

·      Do this 15 times. Repeat all reps on the other side.

Repeat the entire sequence 3 times.
