How it works: Perform three sets of 10 reps each side.
Equipment required: One set of 10-20 pound dumbbells.

Instructions:
  1. Come into a straight-arm plank position with wrists under shoulders and feet slightly wider than hip-width. Hold one dumbbell in each hand with wrists straight.
  2. Bend right elbow as you lift weight up toward chest. Maintain a strong core and long spine the entire time.
  3. Return back to center and repeat the movement on the other side. Keep hips still as you perform each row.
Benefits:
  • Increases stability in shoulders.
  • Improves strength in core and hips.
  • Tones back, waist and shoulders.
