All you need is a pair of dumbbells to get started.
Let’s get started!
Split Lunge with Arm Swing
Starting from a split lunge position with your left leg in front and your right arm above head, push off from both feet into a jump and switch the position of your feet so that you land back in a lunge position but with your right leg in front and your left arm above head. This completes one rep.
Swing your arms up and down by your side so that when your left leg is in front, your right arm is up high and vice versa.
Start by doing 10 repetitions and slowly increase your repetitions as you get stronger and more comfortable with the exercise
Speed Skater
Start by lunging towards one side of your body and switching to the other side mimicking the moves of a speed skater. Swing your arms side to side touching the opposite hand to the opposite foot, lowering your body down into a squat position to do so. This completes one rep.
Start by doing 10 repetitions and slowly increase your repetitions as you get stronger and more comfortable with the exercise
Jumping Shoulder Press
Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, hands and dumbbells in front of your shoulders. Come down into a full regular squat position and then jump up explosively. On your way up, extend your arms fully overhead to complete a shoulder press. Upon landing, lower your body back into a squat position and repeat.
Start by doing 10 repetitions and slowly increase your repetitions as you get stronger and more comfortable with the exercise.
Squat-Jab-Punch Combo
Start by standing with your feet shoulder width apart, facing your left, with your arms up in a boxing position so that the palms of your hands are facing the sides of your face. Feel free to keep you hands open or make a fist.
From this position, lower your body into a squat position keeping your hands by your face and as you come up, jab forward with your left hand and immediately follow it with a punch from your right hand and return back to a starting position. This completes one rep.
Start by doing 10 repetitions facing left then facing right and slowly increase your repetitions as you get stronger and more comfortable with the exercise.
Abdominal Flutter Kicks
Start by lying on your back with your legs together and extended out straight and your arms overhead and extended out straight as well.
Lift your left leg and right arm up keeping them both straight as they come in contact. As you begin lowering them to their starting position, begin lifting your right leg and left arm keeping them both straight as they come in contact.
Start by doing 20 repetitions and slowly increase your repetitions as you get stronger and more comfortable with the exercise.
For less intensity, do these exercises without using dumbbells.
For more intensity, increase the repetitions, the dumbbell weights, or both.
Here’s to making this your best summer yet.
Cheers!
