A Surefire Get-Fit Plan: Olympian-Inspired Moves

Confession time: We become perma-bonded to the TV screen when the Olympics roll around. We’re fascinated by more than just the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, and the crazy uniforms of the opening ceremonies, though. We’re also (obviously) mega-inspired by the athletes' impossibly toned, entirely enviable bodies.

And while you may not be able to block a ball like Hope Solo or work the beam like Alicia Sacramone, you can get seriously hot (and strong!) in time for the Games by cribbing our favorite athletes' signature moves. Shape up like an Olympian (without the full-time training schedule) with these exercises — we've got step-by-step how-to ahead!
