How to Do It

  1. Stand in a split stance, right foot forward, left foot back.
  2. Hold weights next to thighs and bend both knees, lowering into a lunge.
  3. As you lower down, curl the arms in a bicep curl.
  4. While still lowered in the lunge, push the arms straight up overhead.
  5. Bring the arms down into a curl, lower them to the sides and push back up to starting position.
  6. Repeat for all reps before switching sides, going for 1 to 3 sets of 12-16 repetitions, with a 20-30 second rest between sets.

This exercise works the quads, hamstrings and glutes, as well as the biceps and shoulders.
