1. Stationary Lunge with L-Raise

Targets: Glutes, Thighs, Shoulders, Core

Holding 3- or 5-pound dumbbells at your sides, stand with right foot in front of left, about one stride's-length apart.
Bend knees 90 degrees while raising right arm to the front at shoulder height and left arm to the side, palms down.
Stand up, lower arms, and repeat; do 12 to 15 reps.
Switch sides and repeat. Do 1 to 3 sets per side.

Keep it easy: Do a squat instead of a lunge, and keep elbow bent 90 degrees for lateral (side) raise.

Next: 2. Crossover Squat and Pull-Back

I've been doing this workout for almost three weeks and I LOVE it. It takes longer than 30 minutes to do a full 3 sets of each exercise but I've seen a definite increase in upper body definition and have lost lower body inches.
