Fit Tip: Shape the curve of your waist

tanyabikini.jpgIf you're more straight-up-and-down than hourglass, the right moves can give you a sexy, nipped-in shape--even if you never achieve flat abs. The key is to target your oblique muscles, which pinch in your waist, says Jim Ryno, personal trainer for Podfitness.com. Try the Side Plank every other day: Lie on left side with legs and feet on top of each other, prop body up on left forearm, place right hand on hip and, keeping your legs straight, lift hips eight to 12 inches off the floor. Hold for 20 seconds, lower and repeat if you can. Switch sides. You should see curves in about three weeks.
