• Move your arms, while still holding the dumbbells, under your shoulders. raise your upper body by pushing your hands into the ground and slowly straighten your arms and lift your shoulders and chest.

• To complete the row portion of this exercise, beginning with your right arm, grab the dumbbell and bend your elbow to a 90 degree angle.  Slowly pull it towards the ceiling while your upper arm skims the side of your stomach. You will have to tighten your abs to maintain your balance while doing this row. Slightly twist your hips to the left or right depending on which hand you are raising.
• Do your right arm , then left . Then get into a squat position and jump up as high as you can. Then do the exercise again until you reach 10 reps.
