Workout 2: Lower-Body Strength Circuit: Diagonal Lunge with Dumbbells

Targets legs, butt

  • Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding weights at sides.
  • Pretend you're standing in the center of a clock. Step right foot out and a little behind you to five o'clock, bending both knees; keep left knee over ankle.
  • Return to center and repeat. Do 8 to 10 reps; then repeat on opposite side, stepping left leg out to seven o'clock.

Challenge yourself: After lunging to the right side, lift right knee in front of you and balance on left leg for 2 to 3 seconds; repeat.

Next:  Deadlift
