Plié

Targets: Legs, butt, core, and shoulders.

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding dumbbells at sides.

2. Step right leg out to Plie' squat, toes turned out, knees in line with toes, bringing weights to hips, and palms rotated up.

3. Press through heels and stand.

4. Do 15 reps and repeat on other side.

"This is great for targeting the inner thighs as you press up on each rep. Think about squeezing the glutes and imagine a magnet drawing the inner thighs together."
