A master fat burner
Slim and tone your entire body with one athletic move.
When you’re short on workout time use the dumbbell alternating lunge and overhead press. It conditions your muscles from head to toe so you’re able to streamline your routire to just a few challenging exercises, says David Jack, sport director of Teamworks Center in actor, Massachusetts.
For instance, you might sandwich the dumbbell alternating lunge and overhead press between a set of puliups and abs exercise.
Perform one movementand then immediately follow it up with another.
Rest for up to a minute and then repeat the trio once (or twise if time allows).
THE BENEFIT
The dumbbell alternating lunge and overhead press trains your legs, core and shoulders. It also improves your coordination for sports because it requires you to keep your hips level and your core stable for balance as you perform complex movements.
HOW TO DO IT
1. Stand holding pair o’dumbbell at your shoulders.
2. Take a bie step forward with your right leg and bend at the knees urtil that leg is parallel to the floor and your rear is just off de the floor.
3. Press de left hand weight overhead, lower it, and then push back to the starting position.
4. Step our with your other leg and complete the press with your opposite arm.
That’s 1 rep. Do a total of 8 reps.
OUR EXPERT’S TIP
Don’t allow your weight to carry you forward. Instead, think about dropping your hips straight down as you step. Keep your abs tight and you chestup, and squeeze your glutes.
