Well, I'm sold. Clearly jump lunges and squat jumps are the best way to keep that junk in your trunk under control, even if the whole "make you want to vomit" thing is a bit of a turn-off.
So how do you DO these magical booty-shaping moves?
Here's a Squat Jump how-to from FitSugar:
Begin in an athletic stance with feet shoulder-width apart and arms bent with hands at chest level.
Bend knees and come into a full squat.
Jump up as explosively as you can, reaching for the ceiling.
When you land, lower back into the squat position to complete one rep.
Do three sets of 12 reps.

Ouch! No wonder Jessica looks so good!
