HEALTH

For prima posture...

"Any time you pull in with the abs, push down with the shoulders and lift through the spine you are working to build [good] posture, even at your desk!" See the difference by experimenting during downtime when you're seated or standing. Go from a standard slouch to upright and supportive, then release. Keep doing it, and reminding yourself to do it, and it will come naturally.

For a killer booty

One basic move will get ya well on your way: "If you get started down on your hands and knees and extend one leg to the back for a series of lifts, this is a good start!"  

And those legs...

Mary Helen is all about emphasising the inner and back of the thighs rather than the quads. Start with a standing side kick: Begin with your feet staggered, one behind the other, than reach out with your back leg to the side and sligthly to the front in a controlled kick. Point those toes, and lower your leg back to the starting position. To add a bit more ab work to the move, draw your back leg out, to the side and front, then bend your knee and cross slightly over your body and return.
