Discover how to drop body fat and firm up with the celebrity workout routines used by Lauren Conrad.

In the seven months that celeb trainer Jarett Del Bene has been working with Lauren Conrad, she's dropped body fat, firmed up, and discovered just how energizing it is to finish a challenging home workout routine.

"In my opinion, if you're not sweating, you're not really working out," says Del Bene, whose exercise DVD, Look Like a 10, Feel Like a 10, comes out this month (a portion of the proceeds will benefit the TUFF Foundation, Teaching Underprivileged Families Fitness, the charity he co-founded).

He gets Lauren "glistening" with 30- to 60-minute circuit training sessions that use free weights or bands. "We do something different every time," he says. Achieve your own firming results by adding these six moves from Del Bene to your home workout routines. They'll target every major muscle in just 20 minutes.

The Home Workout Plan

How it works: Do 3 sets of 12 to 15 reps of each move in order, 2 or 3 times a week. Rest for 30 seconds between sets.
You'll need: a handled resistance tube, a resistance band, and a mat (optional).
