WORKOUT B
Perform these six exercises as a circuit, doing one after another until all the exercises have been completed. That's 1 round. Do 10 repetitions of each exercise and rest 30 seconds before moving to the next one. Try to increase the weight you use each week. Complete a total of 3 rounds.
1. Dumbbell Hang Pull
Hold a pair of dumbbells just below your knees with your hips pushed back and knees slightly bent. Pull both dumbbells to shoulder height by thrusting your hips forward and standing up on your toes. Keep your lower back slightly arched, and don't round it. Return to the starting position, pause, and repeat.
2. Dumbbell Pushup and Row
Place a pair of hex dumbbells on the floor, shoulder-width apart. Grab the handles and set yourself in pushup position. Place your feet about shoulder-width apart to help stabilize your body as you row the dumbbell. Do a pushup, and then row one dumbbell to the right side of your chest. Return to the starting position and repeat on the left side. That's 1 rep. (To upgrade your routine, try these 14 smart pushup improvements.)
