No-Squats Belly/Butt/Thighs Workout

Flatten your belly, slim your thighs, and firm your butt in 2 weeks—without a single sit-up or squat

The newest way to shape up your belly, butt, and thighs without stressing your joints: Flip your workout upside down! These five ballet-inspired moves use one piece of equipment you’re sure to have in your home—a wall to gently increase your flexibility and range of motion. The result: You’ll isolate the tough to reach muscles that pull in your belly, lift your backside, and trim your thighs. The perfect complement to weight-bearing exercises such as walking, inverted moves use gravity to naturally boost circulation and provide an instant energizing rush. They also give your knees and hips a break from the pounding of upright life.
