straight again and curl
the dumbbells up to
your shoulders.
4. Rotating plank.
Starting from a push-up position with your
hands resting on the handles of the

your body is in a ‘T’ position. Return to the
dumbbell to the ground and repeat on the
other side.

hand for balance. Return the
dumbbell to the ground and
repeat on the other side.

Standing with a single dumbbell in one hand
raised above your head, reach down on your
opposite side and touch your ankle with your
free hand. Return to standing position and
repeat.
8. Reverse wood-chops.
Standing with both hands
holding a single dumbbell,
crouch down so that the

shoulder. Lower the weight
back down and repeat.
