“Each total-body strengthener sculpts muscle fibers you’ve probably never reached before,” says celebrity trainer Kim, who designed this incredibly effective workout exclusively for THE FITNESS BOX .
Perform the fitness workout as a mixed circuit of your choice: Choose one exercise for each body part until you have completed a set of all 12 exercises in any order you want!
What you will need
A pair of 2 to 4 kg dumbbells and a floor mat
2/ Thinning of the legs
The following series of exercises targets the quads, hamstrings, hips, glutes, calves - plus the firm abs, triceps, biceps and shoulders.
3/ Perfect your form
Get the most out of these lunge moves by mastering the basics: Standing, take a big step forward with your left foot and bend your left knee 90 degrees so that it's in line with your left ankle and your right knee is bent 90 degrees toward the floor.
4/ Make things easier
Step back into a lunge rather than forward – this makes the movement easier on the joints.

After each repetition, quickly bring the back knee towards the chest, then return the foot to the floor.
