Flat Chest Press with Leg Raise

Lie on your back, while holding a pair of dumbbells in a neutral grip. Engage your core, by lifting your legs off the floor. Press the dumbbells up while simultaneously raising your legs to a vertical position and lower as you bring the weights down. You can also perform this combination by holding one dumbbell in each hand on either side of the chest; with palms face forward. Lift both weights, pushing them straight up until arms are fully extended – legs should remain up, with knees bent at a 90-degree angle and ankles crossed. Pause briefly and repeat.

Split-stance Bicep Curl

Holding dumbbells with palms facing outwards and pinkies resting against dumbbell head. Place one foot on top of a bench and fully extend arms down to your core, exhale and quickly raise dumbbells to shoulders. Keep elbows tucked at your sides. Pause, then slowly retract dumbbells back to the starting position. Make sure to swap lifted leg after repetitions are completed. Complete 3 to 5 sets of 15-20 repetitions for ultimate results.
