The Best Exercises for a Pear-Shaped Body

The Best Exercises for a Pear-Shaped Body

Wanna get seriously toned? These eight moves will definitely do the trick

If you're a bit wider on the bottom than you are on top, this workout's for you.  It's designed to tone your arms and shoulders—we're talking way more muscle definition—to help you look seriously amazing in a sun dress this spring. 

The best part? No need to hit the gym or mess with fancy machines. All you need is a workout ball, and some sort of bench (and, of course, the desire to get your body into the best shape ever). Your mission: Watch this video, and do each move as directed (be sure to check out how many reps you should do for each). Then, try to resist snapping a Lupita-lookalike selfie.  

Okay, ready? On your mark, get set...get TONED.
