- Walking Lunges Start in a regular standing position, you can put your hands on your hips for added support. Take one step forward as far as you can until the active leg is parallel with the floor. It’s okay to let your back knee touch the floor to go all the way down. Make sure to lean on the back leg and don’t let your active knee fall over your foot. Rise up back into a standing position and step with the other leg. Complete 10 reps for each leg.
- Shoulder Superset
This superset consists of 3 sets of 10 front raises, 10 lateral raises,
and 10 shoulder presses back-to-back. Stand with your legs
shoulder-width apart and dumbbells in each hand resting at your side.
With palms facing downward and arms straight, slowly raise the weights
up to shoulder height, then lower them back down. Without touching your
legs, repeat 10 times. Immediately
following, start with the dumbbells back at your side with palms facing
your legs. Slowly raise the weights up slightly above shoulder height
in a “t” position and then lower. Complete 10 reps.
Then,
starting with elbows bent and palms facing forward right above your
head (as if you were holding onto a bar in a pull-up position), press
the weights all the way up until your arms are completely straight.
Lower back down into the resting position and complete 10 reps. This
completes the superset.
- Barbell Bicep Curls
Standing with feet shoulder width apart, grab the barbell with both
hands, palms facing up, with your pinkies on the outer edge of the last
silver ring. Start with the weight down by your legs and, with elbows
in, pull the barbell up to your shoulders. Lower back down and complete
10 reps. Do 3 sets of 10. - Bench Dips
Pull two flat benches next to each other. Put your palms down on one
and rest your feet on the other until your legs are parallel with the
floor. Bend at the elbows and let your hips drop down until your
triceps are parallel with the bench, then lift back up. Complete 3 sets
of 10 of these.
Be sure to use appropriate weight to make sure you can
complete each set with proper form. Rest 30 seconds between each set.
For an intense calorie burn, perform 30 seconds of jumping jacks or
mountain climbers in between sets instead of resting.
