By Karen Asp, Prevention

What are your trickiest trouble zones? If you said belly, butt, and thighs, you're in good company: 84% of women cite these as their biggest problem areas. To the rescue: a multitasking routine combining principles of Pilates, yoga, and ballet to target multiple muscle groups and slim you down from every angle. In 3 to 4 weeks, you'll be leaner and stronger.

Bonus: Since new muscle revs your metabolism, you'll burn more fat all day long. Plus, you'll have extra energy for brisk cardio workouts—to flatten your belly even faster.

The Expert: Tracey Mallett, certified Pilates instructor in L.A. and creator of the Renew You Sleek and Lean DVD, designed this workout.

    Kind of with the topic, but also off....I read in a Self magazine awhile back, that women who happen to be a little bigger around the thighs and butt area, overall, tend to have a higher IQ. Thought that was kind of interesting...makes me feel a little better somedays!
