Okay, fine, so you may not be getting that body within a few days, BUT you still can get a little more toned. Especially with the party of the year, ZoukOut, happening this weekend, it's imperative that you look your best. 

What better way to start on your bangin' bod than with these two workouts by Edwin Aw, Fitness Team Leader at Fitness First Singapore at One Raffles Place?

For your butt & back

Try TRX® Back rows with squats.



1. Hold both handles in front of waist, elbows bent slightly by your sides. 
2. Lean backwards to about 45 degrees and extend arms in front of you at eye level. 
3. Perform a squat by lowering your body down into a squat, using the TRX® straps to maintain balance. 
4. Push back up to starting position and then pull body up towards the anchor point as you bend your elbows and bring chest close to palms.
 
For your lower abs

The Lying Leg raises work wonders.



1. Lie down face up on the floor or on a bench.
2. Place hands behind glutes with palms facing down. Keep legs as straight as possible, point your toes towards your shins.
3. Slowly raise legs perpendicular to the floor, hold the contraction at the top and slowly lower legs to start position. 
 
How often you should do this? 

1. Perform all exercises back to back, 15 to 20 reps each exercise with 30 seconds rest in between exercises. Do a total of 5 rounds. 
2. Repeat the exercises in a circuit. 12 reps of each exercise with 30 seconds rest in between exercises for a total of 5 rounds. 

Where can you do these activities?
Book yourself a session at any Fitness First outlet around the island. Their welcoming and safe environment ensures you're able to get the body you want, with the proper care and instruction you may require. 

Our verdict: Intensive workouts are the way to go, because of the short amount of time till the end of the week. But hey, no pain no glory. Don't let your hard work go to waste - remember to lay off the carbs from now till Friday!
