Move 1: Reese Witherspoon's Super Lunge

Celeb trainer Michael George says this is how he gets Witherspoon's core, legs, and butt toned: 

Start in a down lunge position and bring your arms in front of your face in pyramid position (think boxing). Keeping your upper body relaxed, lift your back knee up towards your chest so you are standing on one bent leg. When the leg comes up near the chest extend your leg from the knee (flick the leg like a martial art kick), pushing out with the heel and keeping your standing leg bent. Then gently place the leg back down the starting position (down lunge). Do 15 to 25 reps on each side, 2 to 3 times a week.
