Stand with feet hip-width apart, a dumbbell in each hand. Take a big step forward with right foot, lower into a lunge and bring hands to floor. Stand up, pressing off heel to return to start, and bring weights to armpits, elbows out. Do 10 times, then switch legs. That’s one set; do two sets.
Squat Press With Twist
Stand with feet hip-width apart, a weight in each hand, lifted up by shoulders, palms facing forward. Squat as if sitting down in a chair; pause. As you rise back up, press weights straight up over shoulders and twist torso right. Do five times, then switch sides. That’s one set; do two sets.
Stand with feet hip-width apart, a weight in each hand; bend arms 90 degrees, upper arms by sides. Step back and to the left with right leg; lower into a lunge as you extend and lift arms behind you. Return to start. Do 10 times, then switch sides. That’s one set; do two sets.
Lie facedown on a large exercise ball or ottoman, hands on floor for stability. Place soles of feet together and open knees wide in a diamond shape. Squeeze butt and, keeping feet together, lift legs as high as you can; lower. Do 20 times. That’s one set; do two sets.
