HEALTH

Since sculpting is about muscle control rather than momentum, you want to do these moves as slowly as you can. Begin each sesh with a 5-minute warm-up, like walking or jogging in place. When your finished, stretch your bod out to give your muscles some relief.

The Side Step-Up

Stand to the right side of an exercise step-bench. Place your right foot on the step, toe pointing forward. Then, step sideways onto step, squeezing your buttocks and pressing your body weight into your right foot. Lift the left leg off the floor and to your left side as high as you comfortably can without your body tilting. Step down with your left foot first, then right. Repeat 15 times slowly on each side.
