Move No. 1: Jackknife
This move is a great way to tone your abs if you're not into planking. It looks easy, but you'll definitely feel the burn.
"Balance on your tailbone with your hands at your sides for stability and balance. Leaning back slightly, pull your knees to your chest and use your abs to extend your feet forward. Hold for 30 seconds, keeping your abs tight."

Move No. 2: Bench Triceps Extension With Resistance Band
Bonus Zone: Back
If you do any kind of strength-training, chances are you have a couple of biceps-toning moves in your repertoire. But don't forget about your triceps -- this muscle makes up two-thirds of your upper arm, and toning it is key for totally cut arms.
"Stand with your elbows at your sides, knees unlocked, and bend over at the waist. Bend and straighten your elbows at your sides using your triceps for movement. Complete 15 reps."

Move No. 3: Plyometrics
Bonus Zones: Butt and Heart
"Plyos are a great way to generate strength, muscle tone and power in a short period of time."
"Start in a low squat position. Generating power through the legs, explode out of the squat and then land softly back into the squat with your knees soft to absorb the impact. Repeat 15 times."
