- Start by standing with your feet about hip-width apart, with a dumbbell in your hands. Your feet should be slightly pointed outward, and your shoulders should be down and relaxed.
- Place a step or box beside you, and step up onto it with one foot. Your other foot should remain on the ground.
- Push off your grounded foot, raising your body up onto the step.
- Step back down with the same foot, returning to the starting position.
- Begin by standing beside a sturdy box or bench that is about knee-height, holding a dumbbell with a goblet grip.
- Place your right foot on the box and push through the heel to lift your body up and onto the box.
- Step back down with your right foot.
- Start by lying on a bench with your foot on a plate or low box and a dumbbell on your hips.
- Lift one leg off the ground and engage your glutes to raise your hips up towards the ceiling.
- From this starting position, slowly lower your hips back down to the starting position.
- Sit on the ground with a bench behind you. Place both feet on a plate or low box. Have the dumbbell over your legs just above your hips.
- Lean back against the bench so that your shoulders are resting upon it, stretch your arms out to either side using the bench as support.
- Raise the weight by driving through your feet and extending your hips upwards. Support the weight with your shoulders and feet.
- Slowly extend as far as you can, and then slowly return to the starting position.
