Standing Bent Over Dumbbell Row – Palms Facing Back
Stand with your feet approximately shoulder width apart. Bend your knees slightly and lean forward at your waist so that your torso is almost parallel to the ground. Now hold the dumbbells at your sides with your palms facing “back” or “behind” you, and while keeping your elbows bent slightly, use your upper back muscles to lift the weights to your sides. Then, slowly reverse the motion, and return to the starting position, again maintaining a slight bend in your elbows. Repeat for your desired number of repetitions.

Dumbbell Lunge
Stand with your feet no more than shoulder-width apart while holding a dumbbell in each hand. Then, step forward and slowly lower your hips until both of your legs are at about 90 degrees. Next, push-off of your front foot to reverse the motion. Make sure you control the dumbbells by not allowing your arms to swing. Also, keep your torso in an upright position, avoid touching your back knee to the ground, and be careful not to put pressure on your front ankle by leaning forward. Finally, when you reverse the motion, remember to engage your abdominal and gluteus muscles. Continue for the necessary amount of repetitions required for your workout program and fitness goal.
