Celeb trainer Jennifer Cohen is hookin’ you up with five moves for a better butt and leaner legs. Rock the entire circuit three times at least three days a week, then hello, skinny jeans!

 

Outer Thigh Lifts

Lay on your right side with your right arm extended out by your ear and your head resting on your hand. Place your left hand on the floor for balance. Make sure your spine is straight and your butt is tucked in, as if you were standing. Flex your left foot and slowly lift it. Return to start and repeat 10 times on both sides.

 

Inner Thigh Lifts

Start in the same position as the previous move. Cross your left leg over your right, so your left foot is flat on the ground and your knee is bent. Raise your right leg as high as you can. Slowly lower it back down, without it touching the ground. Repeat for 10 reps and then switch sides.

 

Hamstring Curl

Lay on your back, with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Place your arms straight by your sides and use them for balance throughout the move. Keeping your abs tight, straighten your right knee, so your leg is at a 45-degree angle to the ground. Slowly lower back to start. Repeat for 10 reps and switch sides.

 

Glute Kickbacks

Start on your hands and knees. Make sure your spine is straight from top to bottom, and your butt isn’t sticking up. Balance on your hands and right leg and raise your left leg, keeping your knee bent so it comes up to the same level as your butt. Repeat for 10 reps and then switch sides.

 

Back Kicks

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold on to a door frame or tall countertop. Curl one of your legs back behind you and aim to kick yourself in the butt (seriously!). When your heel is as high as you can go, tighten your behind for one count. Repeat for 10 reps on each side.

mod mod mod so there is a guy d ill say.n we been friends for 2 years now.n we are just really good friends but lately i feel like im fallin in love with him.he is my friend thou i use to like him but now my feelings for him is different.am i spose to tell him or what.if i do i dont no wat he will say




Hey girl, I'd hint you may be interested in him like that (like, bring up dating in general (not between the two of you) and how he reacts. He may confess he's crushing on someone else, not looking, etc.) but I wouldn't say it directly unless you get some vibes from him he's interested like that. Go slow with this, especially because you're unsure what you want, and it will work itself out with time.

Ok so I have this "friend" who drives me insane! She can be really conceited , critical and annoying! Every morning she makes me sit with her on the bus but I'd really rather be sleeping or sitting with one of my friends in a different grade since that's the only time during the week I get to see her. Im polite about but I'd really like to Find a way to break ties with her. She also always sits with me at lunch and texts me nonstop. She also gets really mad when I don't answer but its not purposeful that I ignore her its just at home I normally drop it on the couch and go do something else do I'm not really there to answer the phone. Sorry for rambling on, please help!!! Thanks!!!

 

Hey MyIpodrox16, I completely RELATE to your situation. I still have a friend like this, and I am working on finding the best ways to break ties with her. I tried ignoring her, but that doesn't work because like your "friend" she gets angry and comes back around anyway. I've found that slowly getting space from my friend worked. So when she tries to make you sit with her on the bus, say you can't because you promised your other friends you would sit with them. If there's any other place you can eat at lunch besides the cafeteria go there. Try eating outside or inside a classroom. Even going to the library to read a book could work. Tell her that you don't really like to talk on the phone when you get home that's why you never answer. Just be polite but determined when you tell her things you don't want to do. Hope this helps! Xoxo
