Condoleezza Rice's No-Excuses Workout

Circuit 3: 1. Deadlift/Row

Targets: Back, glutes, hamstrings

a. Stand with feet together, arms facing sides holding heavier set of dumbbells. Hinge forward from hips as you push glutes back, keeping knees slightly bent, bringing dumbbells forward just under shoulders. Holding here, draw elbows up to ribs, keeping arms close to sides. Stand back up and repeat. Do 12-15 reps.

b. Hinge forward again from hips and do another 12-15 rows, keeping abs tight and head in line with spine.

c. Stand back up and bring weights in front of thighs. Do 25-30 deadlifts, bringing weights toward shins as you push glutes back (you should feel this mostly in your hamstrings). Rest 10-30 seconds.
