Get sexy legs with stiletto salsa!

Strap on your sexiest heels and dance your way to a hot body!

By Heather Buchan

Eager to try this sexy new workout at home? Follow this easy beginners' program and you'll be stepping your way to a hot bod in no time!

1. Find your centre of gravity
Stand barefoot in front of a mirror on a hard surface, hands at your sides and feet about two inches apart, facing forward, with your shoulders stacked over your hips. Concentrate on where your weight lies on your feet. It should feel evenly dispersed with no pressure on any particular area.

2. Rises
Stand sideways in front of a mirror with hands on hips, knees together, heels together and toes half an inch apart. Make sure your feet don't roll over your toes. Slowly lift your heels off the ground until you are standing on your toes. Keep your knees relaxed (not locked). Slowly lower your heels back down. Continue rising and lowering your heels until you no longer wobble. Be aware of what muscles you are using in your feet and legs.

3. Walking on toes
Stand with feet two inches apart. Raise arms out to the sides until they are at shoulder height. Raise both heels and take a step forward with your right toe, placing it directly in front of your left foot. Then step forward with your left toe, placing it directly in front of your right foot. Pretend that you are walking on a tightrope in order to maintain a straight line. After taking six steps forward, take six steps backward on your toes.
