- Start in a plié position with your feet in a wide stance (slightly more than shoulder width apart) and your toes pointed out toward the corners of the room. Your knees should be bent slightly, but not to a full 90-degree angle.
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended in front of you and your palms facing in toward your body. From this position, raise your weights up along the front of your body toward your chest, letting your elbows stick out at your sides (and keeping your shoulders back and down and your chest lifted) as you bring the weights to shoulder level.
- Lower your dumbbells back to the starting position, and repeat for 10 reps.
Start again from exercise one, and repeat this circuit three times for a complete workout.
