CHALLENGE
: Add power by doing a small jump.

Keep your head above your heart as you bend down to get your weights.

5. Bicep Curls and Lateral Raises

You’re creating sleek sexy arms and gorgeous shoulders.

  Stand with your feet together. Hold a weight in each hand and extend your arms straight down in front of your body with your palms facing forward. Step-touch your legs from side to side. As you step to each side, alternate lifting the weights toward your shoulders in a bicep curl. Time: 30 seconds.

 
CHALLENGE
: Step-touch your legs as you curl both arms at the same time.

  Continue to step-touch but lift the arms out to the sides on a diagonal (so they look like a letter V) with the palms facing each other and thumbs up toward the ceiling. Just a little change works different muscles of the arms and shoulders and really shapes them. Time: 30 seconds.

Gently put your weights down and out of the way.

6. Cardio Circuit 3

Think of your body as a fat-burning machine…Banish fat!

 
SKI SHUFFLE
: Stand with your body on a diagonal facing left. With your abs pulled in, shuffle your legs so that one leg is in front and the other is in back. Bend your arms by your sides and alternate pumping them so it looks like you’re cross-country skiing. Time: 1 minute.
