Home Improvement: Jackie Warner's At-Home Circuit Workout

Rainbow Lunge

Targets: Shoulders, back, triceps, butt, and legs
Gear needed: 8- to 10-pound dumbbell

Stand with feet hip-width apart and hold a single 8- to 10-pound dumbbell overhead with a hand on either end; bend elbows 90 degrees to lower weight behind head. This is start position. Make it easier: Beginners should use a 3- to 5-pound dumbbell.

Lunge forward with left leg, bending both knees 90 degrees as you extend arms overhead, then lower arms to chest level in front of you.
Push off left leg to return to start, bringing weight overhead, then bending elbows to lower it behind head.
Do 15 reps. Switch sides, repeat.
Jump rope for 30 seconds.
