Three Ways to Add Arm Work to Your Lunges

If you’re pressed for time at the gym (and these days, who isn’t), time-saving exercises are a must. Adding arm work to the ever-classic lunge is a great way to work more of you in one move. Here are three ways to get more bang for your buck. Newbie: If you’re new to lunges, just stepping out and returning to your starting stance can be challenging enough. Don’t sweat it. Simply hold dumbbells to push yourself to the next level. Holding weights, five to 10 pounds, will make both your booty and arms work more. Up the ante: Add bicep curls to backward lunges . As your leg lunges back, bend both elbows, bringing hand weights to your shoulders. This is a great multitasking move and is pictured above. Learn one more killer variation.

Shape Your Tush With Tips From Booty Master David Kirsch

Celebrity trainer David Kirsch ’s tips are all about the backside in his aptly titled upcoming book, Butt Book . Supermodel Karolina Kurkova was so impressed with Kirsch’s ability to shape her booty that she affectionately calls him “Master of the Ass.” High praise from someone whose job is looking hot in little clothing. While promoting his book, the master shared some of his sculpting tips with Shape and suggests doing a variety of moves, like sumo lunges, platypus walk, and plié squats. To see what he recommends for people who worry about their quadriceps becoming bulky while strengthening and shaping their booty, read more. Kirsch told Shape that anyone worried about bulking up their quads should stay away from traditional squats and explained, They’re going to [want] do a wide-stance squat or a plié squat, which is second position dance, opening up your legs and bringing the focus to the inner thighs and not to the quads. Don’t use excessive weight and keep repetitions high. I use body weight or a medicine ball or light hand weights. There you have it, from the master himself. Would you buy his book that’s all about achieving your ideal booty?

How Do You Refer to Your Rear?

It seems that women have a love/hate relationship with their butts. Either you want a smaller rear or a more shapely tush, and if you love your booty the way it is, I say shake your money maker. Regardless of your emotional relationship to your derriere, trainers and fitness class teachers use a wide variety of terms for “butt” - it’s such a crass term with a schoolyard feel to it, and only slightly better than the formal “buttocks.” When it comes to talking about your backside, tell me . . .
