Plie Squat with Upright Row Exercise

Get a lot of bang for your muscles with the combo exercise! Works the thighs, shoulders, butt, core and hamstrings.

  • Stand with your feet a little more than shoulder-width apart and toes pointed slightly outward. Hold a 3 to 5 pound dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs, palms facing inward. Squat and drop your arms straight down toward the floor until you feel a stretch in your inner thighs (do not lift your heels). Return to standing.
  • Point your elbows away from your body, keep your shoulders down, and draw the dumbbells up your chest as if zipping a jacket, keeping the weights close to your body. Lower your arms to complete the repetition.
  • Do as many reps as you can in four minutes (about 20 to 40).
