Bring on the Bikini!

Beach getaways and pool parties are filling up your calendar—which means it’s officially crunch time for that swimsuit physique. If you've been following our Summer SHAPE Up plan since May, consider this routine your detailing package: It will carve out sexy cuts while firming your last stubborn soft spots. (Missed the first two months? Start now and you'll still see motivating results.) Based on the über-trainer's latest DVD, Jillian Michaels Hard Body ($15; shop.jillianmichaels.com), these exercises target multiple muscles at once to maximize your time. Plus, you'll spend the majority of the workout doing plyometrics (powerful jumping moves), which cranks up the calorie burn to double-digits-a-minute territory.

How it works: Do each move for 1 minute in order, then rest for up to 60 seconds. Repeat the entire circuit twice more. Squeeze in three of these sessions, as well as three additional cardio workouts, a week.

You'll need: A pair of 5- to 8-pound dumbbells.

For best results, pair this routine with the Beach Body Diet program.
