Dumbbell Row

2. Bending your elbows, pull the dumbbells to the side of your torso. Pause then slowly lower the dumbbells.

 

Thrusters

Works: Whole Body

1. Stand straight with your feet shoulder width apart. Hold the dumbbells next to your shoulders with your palms facing towards you. Throughout this workout try to keep your torso as upright as possible.
2. With the dumbbells still positions next to your shoulders, lower your body until the tops of your thighs are parallel to the floor (squat). To do this push your hips backward, bend your knees and lower your body as far down as possible.
3. Push your body to a standing position, while at the same time pressing the dumbbells directly above your head. Lower your dumbbells to starting position.
