Pumped-Up Poses: Yoga with Weights

Chair Lift

Targets shoulders, arms, butt, quads, and hamstrings

Stand with feet together, holding a dumbbell in each hand; bring bent elbows to shoulder height in front of you so dumbbells are about eye level, palms facing each other.
Balancing on left leg, bring right knee toward chest as you drive bent elbows behind you.
Place right foot on floor again as you lower into a squat and drive elbows forward to shoulder height. As you return to standing, lift left knee toward chest and drive elbows back.
Do 3 sets of 20 reps, alternating sides.
