Rosie’s workout tricks for…
abs “I do planks with glider disks under my feet, where I’ll sweep the floor and bring my knees toward my shoulders. You don’t need to do many to see great results. And you can’t go wrong with good old sit-ups.” legs “I’ll get onto all fours, put weights on my ankles and move my legs into different positions: bent, off to the side or rainbows with a pointed toe. It’s killer—really brutal! But I’ve seen incredible results.” arms “It’s important to maintain definition, so I do a lot with rubber bands. I’ll hold them down with one foot and lift the bands in different motions behind my head. You can feel the pain immediately!” butt “I like to lie on my side with a rubber band around my knees, doing a clamshell motion and scissoring my legs. It’s a tiny movement, but it really fires up the muscles.”
