Get Fit for Summer: Workouts for Every Body Part (Yep, Including Your Pelvic Floor)

Tone up every inch of your body with these workouts that strengthen (almost) every body part.

‘Tis summer, the season of tank tops, bikinis and belly-baring crop tops. I.e. the season that can make you realize that all those arms-and-abs days skipped during winter actually did have an impact. That’s where this workout cheat sheet comes in: We’ve rounded up our favorite workouts for every body part so you can strengthen whichever areas you totally slacked off on for, oh, the past six months.

 For your shoulders …

This circuit is full of exercises to sculpt up those shoulders. You’ll need a resistance band and a set of dumbbells, but if you have those on-hand, this can easily be done at home. Bonus: Strengthening your shoulders could mean less neck tension from sitting at your desk all day. Get the workout.

For your arms …

Not a heavy lifter? You can still get super-toned arms. The workout we’ve picked for you focuses on light-weights and high-reps. Don’t be fooled by the two- to five-pound dumbbell recommendation — your arms are going to shake. Get the workout.
