Triceps Dip

Targets: triceps, shoulders
Sit on chair, knees bent, hands grasping seat. Walk feet forward until butt is off the seat. Bend elbows, lowering hips. Press back up, straightening arms.

Start in modified push-up position, knees on floor. Keeping abs tight, bend elbows and lower chest toward floor. Press back up to start and extend right arm at shoulder level. Continue alternating arms with each rep.

Make it easier: Omit the punch.

Alternating Forward Lunge with Hammer Curl

Targets: butt, legs, biceps
Stand holding dumbbells by sides. Step forward with right leg and slowly lower into a lunge while curling weights toward shoulders. Press into right foot and return to start, lowering weights. Alternate front leg with each rep.

Make it easier: Do lunges without weights.

28-Day Transformation Challenge is all about getting you toned with new weekly toning routines to amp up metabolism and strengthen trouble spots. Bonus: "Each workout includes a power move that adds a cardio element such as small jumps to strength moves, so you burn more calories while building metabolism-revving muscle," says Prevention's fitness expert Chris Frey tag.

Do 20 reps of each exercise 3 times a week using 5- to 10-pound dumbbells. Each toning routine takes less than 10 minutes, so blast some fun tunes and get to it!

(My Weight Loss Tip Of The Day)

Burn More Fat: Strength training or working out with light weights; increases your metabolic rate, therefore you burn more fat for another 8 hours after you stop exercising. This means more fat loss.
