SQUAT + SIDE RAISE Grab a pair of SelectTech dumbbells, with palms facing inward at sides. Standing in a slightly wider than shoulder-width stance, perform a squat while raising dumbbells out to sides until they’re at shoulder level. Pause and lower back to starting position. Keep the motion controlled so that you avoid relying on momentum. OVERHEAD SHOULDER PRESS With feet shoulder distance apart and dumbbells next to shoulders, place one foot back behind you, keeping the heel raised. Bend at the knees at lower yourself toward the floor while pressing the dumbbells overhead. Try to keep your legs bent at a 90-degree angle at the bottom of your lunge. PLIE SQUAT Begin with a stance that is nice and wide, with toes pointing outward. Keeping your elbows close to the body and your palms facing forward, perform a squat while curling the weights until biceps are at shoulder level.
