Jump Squat and Curl

  1. Assume a squat position as you hold dumbbells at your sides, your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart. Press through your heels to explode up quickly. Then land softly on the balls of your feet and sink back onto your heels.
  2. After landing, let the dumbbells hang at your sides. Without moving your upper arms, curl the weights up. (Take 1 second to raise them and 2 seconds to lower.)

Biceps, Calves, Chest, Core, Quadriceps, Shoulders
