Kick It

Lie faceup with knees bent, arms down. Push arms against ground and straighten legs directly over hips, toes pointed, to start. (Wobbly? Brace lower back with both hands throughout.)

Complete Curl

Stand with a dumbbell in each hand. Keeping knees soft and back flat, bend forward, pushing hips back as you lower weights along legs as far as you can.

Skinny Dip
