- Start in a standing position and place one dumbbell out in front of you on the ground
- Start by tapping one foot on the dumbbell and then quickly hopping to the other foot "In a running in place motion"
- Alternating taps on dumbbell with feet for desired amount of reps

Dumbbell foot taps

- Start with your body in plank position and your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- Bring your left knee up toward the right elbow and then quickly alternate legs.
- Continue alternating legs until the set is complete.

Twisting mountain climbers

- Start in a high plank, or push-up position with your feet slightly wider than hip width apart.
- Keep your lower back stable as you raise one hand to tap the opposite shoulder.
- Repeat on the opposite side.

Plank shoulders taps

- Start on your hands and knees, aligning your wrists underneath your shoulders and your knees underneath your hips.
- Think of the spine as a straight line connecting the shoulders to the hips. Keep the neck long by looking down and out.
- Curl your toes under and tilt your pelvis back so that your tailbone sticks up.
- Let this movement ripple from your tailbone up your spine so that your neck is the last thing to move.
- Your belly drops down, but keep your abdominal muscles hugging your spine by drawing your navel in.
- Take your gaze gently up toward the ceiling without cranking your neck.
- Tip your pelvis forward, tucking your tailbone. Again, let this action move up your spine. Your spine will naturally round. Draw your navel toward your spine.
- Return to starting position to complete rep

B2. Alternating Bicep Curls x 16 reps

(8 reps total - 4/side)

- Begin in push up position with dumbbells in both hands
- Do one push up and then once you are back in the "plank position" row one dumbbell toward your hip and lower back down
- Repeat with the opposite arm starting with another push up.

*Can modify and complete on knees if needed*

DB renegade rows

- Stand up straight with a dumbbell in each hand at arm's length. Keep your elbows close to your torso and rotate the palms of your hands until they are facing forward. This will be your starting position.
- Now, keeping the upper arms stationary, exhale and curl one dumbbell contracting your bicep and the other still by your side. Continue to raise the weights until your biceps are fully contracted and the dumbbell is at shoulder level. Hold the contracted position for a brief pause as you squeeze your biceps.
- Then, inhale and slowly begin to lower the dumbbell back to the starting position. Then repeat on the other arm.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Single arm alternating dumbbell bicep curls

- With a dumbbell held by both hands stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
- Slowly use both hands to grab the dumbbell and lift it over your head until both arms are fully extended.
- The head of the dumbbell should be resting in the palms of your hands with your thumbs around it. The palm of the hands should be facing up towards the ceiling. This will be your starting position.
- Keeping your upper arms close to your head with elbows in and perpendicular to the floor, lower the resistance in a semicircular motion behind your head until your forearms touch your biceps. The upper arms should remain stationary and only the forearms should move.
- Return to the starting position by using the triceps to raise the dumbbell to complete one rep.

Dumbbell overhead tricep extensions

- Sitting on the floor place your hands behind you (shoulder-width apart) and fingers facing front
- Lean back slightly and bring your legs into a "tuck" position 
- Bending your arms and leaning back straighten your legs out in front (without touching the ground) on one side of the dumbbell 
- Tuck your legs back in to go around the dumbbell then kick them back out on the other side 
- Repeat for recommended amount of reps

Alternating Shotgun Crunches (Over DB)

- Sit on the floor with your knees bent, feet and upper body off of the floor.
- Hold a dumbbell in your hands above your bellybutton, and twist your body, reaching your hands toward the floor.
- Move as fast or as slow as you feel comfortable with, always under control.
