Get Your Best Body Ever: The Workout

Gimme a Y! Gimme a T!

Targets: Shoulders, upper back, abs, butt, and legs

• With a dumbbell in each hand, stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Bend knees slightly to lower into a half squat, hinging forward at hips so that back is nearly parallel to floor.
• Extend arms toward floor, palms facing each other, so that dumbbells hover near knees; this is start position.
• Raise arms up and diagonally overhead to form a Y shape, palms facing up.
• Lower arms to start; do 8 to 10 reps.
• From start position (dumbbells toward floor), raise arms directly out to sides at shoulder level, palms facing up to form a T shape. MAKE IT EASIER: Do the T without dumbbells.
• Lower arms to start; do 8 to 10 reps.
