Style Motivation: Spring 2010 Trends

This year there are several trends that demand a fit figure to pull off the looks. Not that fashion is the most important reason to aspire to fitness - but it sure is a good motivator! Here are our top 3 trends worth the sweat.


Hot Pants & Short Shorts
This is definitely not a trend for shy girls. Hot pants put ALL of your lower assets on full display, so they will certainly get you some attention. Let's just shoot for the good kind of attention and get those glutes and quads in shape!

Peek-A-Boo!
This spring designers are really forcing the issue by creating items that show a lot of skin. And sometimes they're revealing with yards of fabric. Sheer tops like those seen above were all over the runway, and are sure to be all over the streets. But looking good in these requires a fairly tight midsection. You know what that means, don't you? Time to stop crunching those chips and start crunching those abs

Open backs
Most of us are usually so focused on our abs that we forget that the reverse side is just as important for a fit, sexy figure. The good news is that many exercises that work your midsection work the abs as well as the back.
