Aradia push-up

4. Aradia push-up

Who knew push-ups could be so sexy! They are the perfect way to strengthen and tone your arms while practising a sensual cat-like pounce at the same time.

How to: Start in a child's pose (on the mat with your buttocks on your heels, bending down with your chest resting comfortably against your knees, forehead down). Stretch your arms out in front of you and move slowly forward keeping your chest as close to the mat as possible, buttocks up, elbows bent close to the body -- like a pouncing cat. When your shoulders are above your hands, straighten your arms into a full push-up. Going back, slowly bend your elbows raising your buttocks to the ceiling and lowering your chest to the floor, bringing your buttocks back to your heels. To make this movement easier, bring your knees closer to your chest. To make it more difficult, straighten out your legs.

Repeat 4-6 times.

Sexy tip: Keep your toes pointed and your buttocks up! Think Catherine Zeta-Jones in Entrapment.
