Party-dress workouts! Exercises to get you in shape for your LBD

The best moves to fit every LHD (little holiday dress)

Dress type: Halter Target: Shoulders Exercise: Arm circles Stand with feet hip distance apart, open arms out to side into a T-shape, keeping hands level with shoulders and palms facing down. Make 20 little circles in a forward motion; then 20 big circles. Repeat in opposite direction. Do three sets.

Dress type: Backless Target: Back, arms and core Exercise: Low plank with back row Start in plank, resting on forearms. Lift one elbow toward the ceiling and squeeze shoulder blades together. Using slow, controlled movements, alternate back and forth between arms for 20 reps. Do three sets.

Dress type: Strapless Target: Pecs and arms Exercise: Crab walk Sit with feet hip-width apart. Place hands behind you, shoulder-width apart with fingers pointing toward feet. Lift hips off ground, and take 4 crab walks forward, and then back again. Do 10 reps. Do 10 more.

Dress: Mini Target: Legs and butt Exercise: Curtsey Lunges Stand with feet hip-width apart. Take a big step back with left leg, crossing it behind right leg just slightly. Keep hips pointing forward (you’ve stepped too far if hips turn to side). Bend knees until back knee is just a few inches from ground. Do 20 reps. Repeat on opposite side. Do three sets.

Dress: Pencil skirt Target: Calves Exercise: Jump rope It’s not only a great way to get your heart pumping and burn mega calories, but it also defines your calves by working all the little stability muscles from your knees down. Bonus: You don’t even need a rope to do it! Just mimic the motion. Go as fast as you can.
