Targets: Abs, Shoulders, Thighs

a. Lie faceup on a step, holding a medium-weight dumbbell horizontally across your chest. Keep elbows close to body.

b. Curl up to sitting position, then stand all the way up, pressing dumbbell overhead. Sit back on bench and roll down to starting position.

Do 5 to 12 reps; 1 to 3 sets total.

Keep it easy: Begin by sitting on the edge of a step or chair, without a weight; stand up and raise hands overhead before returning to seated position.

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.
