Workout A: Sculpt all over in six moves
These multitasking toners leave no body part unfirmed—in only 15 minutes flat. Without resting between moves, do the indicated reps for each exercise, designed by fitness expert Sue Fleming, author of Fashionably Buff (Random House). Repeat the series. You'll need a set of 5-, 8- or 10-pound weights, depending on your strength, and a stability ball (select a size that lets you sit with knees bent at a 90-degree angle). Try this tune-up three times a week for the tight, trimmed physique you seek.
Workout B: Torch calories with cardio
Our lightning-quick drill can pack the same fat-burning punch as does biking or jogging for one hour, a new study from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, finds. Perform four 30-second sprints on your favorite piece of cardio equipment or outside, then do easy movement (a recovery pace) for four minutes between bursts. Push yourself during the speed intervals. You may huff, you may puff—but your new bod will blow them all away. Go easy on the rest portion. Slog (translation: jog slowly), pedal at a snail's pace or walk. Do this workout three days a week and you'll look superfine in 2009.
