Who says that working out has to stop after bikini season is over? Sure, it’s unconventional to flaunt tummies during the cooler months, but with cocktail parties and holiday get-togethers at the top of the season’s social agenda, a gorgeous physique is the perfect way to not only sport the cutest trends, but also confidently flaunt that kick-butt body.

So bid adieu to frumpy wraps and tacky capes, and say hello to short hems and body-hugging dresses. Work that core, slim those thighs, and tone those arms with these nine tools. If anything, the upcoming season is a fantastic incentive to keep bodies in tiptop shape!
