Score slim thighs and a tight tush with this awesome lower body workout.

Sure, longer-looking gams are just a wedge heel away, but a truly trimmer lower half requires some work with the best workouts for women. "Spending too much time behind a desk or steering wheel does a number on your lower body," says Clayton James, the Reebok Sports Club/NY trainer who created this workout.

By stretching your hip muscles and strengthening your glutes, this women's workout will hit underworked lower-body muscles to trim your thighs and tighten your rear view. Do two or three sets of each exercise three or four times a week and soon you'll be strutting your stuff with confidence, whether you're in flip-flops or stilettos.
