This dynamic exercise works the obliques and upper abs while raising your heart rate. Pushing through the legs get the glutes going, too.
- Squat and twist left to hold the dumbbell on the outside of your left leg.
- Exhale and lift the weight diagonally across your body, ending twisted to the right with the dumbbell above your head. Pivot on your left foot as needed.
- The move is a bit percussive, so focus on the rotation initiating in your torso.
- Control the weight back up to the starting position to complete one rep.
- Remember, you are moving with force but also control. Don't give into the momentum of swinging the weight around.
- Do 15 reps on each side.
