Targets Legs, Butt, and Abs
Stand with feet two to three feet apart and toes turned out, holding a dumbbell in each hand.
Pull your shoulders back and extend arms behind hips, palms facing thighs. Bend knees slightly until you're in a half-plié squat.
Keeping your lower body still, bend to the right and reach your right hand toward your right calf (shown). Remaining in half-squat, return to center, then bend to the left and reach left hand to left calf.
Do 12 to 20 reps on each side.
Too easy? Squat lower and reach for your ankle.
