EXERCISE 2UNDERHAND-GRIP REAR LATERAL RAISE

*Grab a pair of dumbbells and bend forward at your hips until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor. Let the dumbbells hang straight down from your shoulders, your palms facing forward

*Without moving your torso, raise your arms straight out to your side until they're in line with your box

*Pause, then slowly return to the starting position

EXERCISE 3BRACED SQUAT

*Hold a weight plate in front of your chest with both hands, your arms completely straight

*Lower your body as far as your can by pushing your hips back and bending your knees

*Pause, then slowly push yourself back to the starting position

EXERCISE 5INCLINE PUSHUP

*Place your hands on a box, bench, or step instead of the floor. This reduces the amount of your body weight you have to lift, making the exercise easier

*Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the bench

*Pause at the bottom, and then push yourself back to the starting position as quickly as possible

*If your hips sag at any point during the exercise, your form has broken down. When this happens, consider that your last repetition and end the set 

EXERCISE 6DUMBBELL STEPUP

*Grab a pair of dumbbells and hold them at arm's length at your sides. Stand in front of a bench or step, and place your left foot firmly on the step 

*The step should be high enough that your knee is bent 90 degrees 

*Press your left heel into the step and push your body up until your left leg is straight and you're standing on one leg on the bench, keeping your right foot elevated 

*Lower your body back down until your right foot touches the floor. That's one repetition.

*Complete the prescribed number of repetitions with your left leg, then do the same number with your right leg
