How many times have you had the dreaded dream where you are standing in front of a crowd, only to realize you are completely naked?

It is every woman's worst nightmare. And it is pretty obvious why that is. A recent survey conducted by Fitness Magazine and Yahoo! Shine found that 57 percent of the women surveyed believe they look fat naked. More specifically, the thighs were the most loathed body part for women and men, followed by the arms and butt.

Of course, a woman's attitude toward her naked body is nothing new. Just ask fitness expert and author Brad Schoenfeld. Schoenfeld, who holds a Master's degree in Kinesiology/Exercise Science from the University of Texas and was named the 2011 NSCA Personal Trainer of the Year, makes a living helping men and women transform their figures from flab to fab. He is highly regarded as one of the leading authorities on body composition training. And he wrote the book on looking great naked. Literally.

Typically, the biggest complaint from women is the trifecta of trouble spots -- the abs, butt and thighs. Obviously, it is a sentiment further supported by Fitness magazine's recent findings. In an exclusive interview with MyDailyMoment,com, the fitness guru explains that although women are genetically predisposed to store most of the junk in their trunks, there is no need to run for cover. A tight, toned body can be attained through proper diet and regimented exercise.

Schoenfeld tells MyDailyMoment.com, "Women should remember that anyone can significantly improve their appearance if they're willing to put in the dedication and effort. You cannot change your genetics, but within your genetic framework, everyone can have a terrific body."

One thing that women can't count on to get slim and trim is spot training. Schoenfeld is quick to point out that trying to spot reduce fat is an exercise in futility. Although targeted exercises can help firm up an area, they are not effective in directly zapping fat in a specific region. Schoenfeld suggests a careful balance between eating right and getting physical to achieve a fit physique. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a one-two punch of less calories and more exercise is the formula for success.

"Weight loss/maintenance basically comes down to calories-in vs. calories-out: if you take in fewer calories than you expend, you'll lose weight," Schoenfeld says. "So you can't expect to simply eat as much as you want and then exercise away the excess. Fitness is only effective as a weight-loss aid when you control the amount of food you consume."

While cardio plays an integral role in accomplishing a better body, the true strength in your workout lies in weight training. Lifting weights not only builds muscle, but also promotes fat loss. Adding muscle raises the metabolic rate, Schoenfeld adds.

"If you train metabolically, it helps to further increase the amount of calories that you burn 'after' the exercise session for up to 72 hours," he explains. "Adding in some cardio can definitely help with fat loss, too, so the combination is beneficial."

For the woman who is determined to look great naked, Schoenfeld has put together a metabolic resistance training workout that will help you get lean and defined.

"You should move from one exercise to the next with as little rest as possible between sets. Once you finish all the exercises, repeat the sequence two more times. Perform 15-20 reps of each exercise."

Shoulder Press: Begin by sitting at the edge of a flat bench. Grasp two dumbbells and bring the weights to shoulder level with your palms facing away from your body. Slowly press the dumbbells directly upward and in, allowing them to touch together directly over your head. Contract your deltoids and then slowly return the dumbbells along the same arc back to the start position.

Seated Row: Begin by grasping a V-bar handle attached to a low pulley apparatus with your palms facing in toward each other.
