Pinterest is full of many different exercises, routines, low carb diets, low-fat diets, low-calorie diets, smoothie recipes, and more. We usually just pin away looking to try one of these saved pins at a later date….which seldom, if ever, happens. I decided to finally take the time to round up exercises to target abs, thighs, hips, butts, and arms.

I’ve pieced them together into one cohesive total body workout that you can do in the comfort of your own home. I’ve compiled them into a progressive routine complete with a detailed meal plan. I’m going to try this regimen for myself, and chart my progress weekly; feel free to join me. If you DO choose to join me, make sure to report your weekly progress on The Soundtrack Of My Life Blog Facebook page. Let’s see if Pinterest can turn us into Pin-Ups.

Use this meal plan in conjunction with the following work out routine.

For the workout, we’ll try the Abs and arms workouts two days per week, and the legs and butt workouts one day per week. That’s a total of 3 workout days per week. Choose the days you are most likely to stick to. Individual exercises and demonstrations are listed below.
