1A. GOBLET SQUAT

Start with your feet just outside hip-width, toes slightly turned out, holding a dumbbell by one end close to your chest. Pull your ribs down and brace your core.

While keeping your chest lifted, send your hips backwards and bend your knees to descend.

Squeeze your glutes and push the floor away with your heels to return to standing.

1B. DB ROMANIAN DEADLIFT

Start with your feet hip-width apart with two dumbbells resting on your thighs.

Pull your shoulders down and back and engage your lats (imagine squeezing a tennis ball under each arm).

Soften your knees, push your hips backward and let your chest descend, while keeping your core engaged and back straight.

Pull through your hamstrings and squeeze your glutes to return to standing.

1C. WALKING LUNGE

Start with your feet hip-width, holding two dumbbells at your sides.

Engage your core and take a long stride forward, keeping your torso upright and allowing your back knee to stop just above the floor.

Drive through your front heel, while simultaneously pushing away the floor with your back foot to join your legs and return to standing.

Repeat on the other leg.
