Routine by celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak, cohost of The Revolution on ABC

Mix these double-duty toning moves with blasts of cardio to get slim in record time.

Lunge Shoulder Press

Complete the circuit 2 to 3 times, doing 50 imaginary rope jumps after each move.

What you'll need: a pair of 5- to 10-pound dumbbells, a yoga mat

Targets shoulders, triceps, butt, and legs

• Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, a dumbbell in each hand; bend elbows to bring dumbbells next to shoulders, palms facing forward.

• Lunge forward with left leg, bending both knees 90 degrees.

Reverse-Grip Dead-Lift Row

Targets back, biceps, and hamstrings

• Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, holding a dumbbell in each hand, arms by sides, palms facing up.

• Hinge forward from hips, pushing butt back as far as you can.

• Drive elbows behind you to bring dumbbells by ribs, palms up, shoulder blades squeezing together.

• Lower dumbbells toward floor, releasing shoulder blades so that they move away from each other.

• Return to start. Do 20 reps.

Side-Crunch Hammer Curl

Targets obliques and biceps

• Stand with feet together, holding a dumbbell in right hand, arm by side, palm facing in, and touch left fingertips to left temple.

• Side bend at waist to right, chest facing forward, so that left elbow points up.

Triceps-Extension Reverse Sit-Up

Targets triceps and abs

• Lie faceup on mat with knees bent, feet off floor, a dumbbell in each hand, arms extended toward ceiling and palms facing each other; bend elbows to bring dumbbells by ears.

Pullover Curl-Up

Targets back, chest, and abs

• Lie faceup on mat, knees bent and feet flat, holding ends of one dumbbell with both hands, arms extended behind head. MAKE IT EASIER: Do without dumbbell.
