You'll Need: a TRX suspension training system. Find one at your gym, or anchor the at-home version to a door or strong pole ($200; TRXTraining.com).
Do: three sets of 10 to 12 reps of each move in order, two or three times a week. Set up the straps as noted for each move; adjust them as needed so you can do the move comfortably.
Squat — do 10-12 reps
*Works glutes, legs *
Set straps at midlength. Stand facing the anchor with your feet shoulder-width apart, a handle in each hand at your chest with your elbows bent. Straighten your arms slightly as you lower into a squat, then stand for 1 rep.
