With a 5-pound dumbbell in each hand at your sides, stand with the left foot forward and right foot back in a wide stance. Bend both knees keeping the left knee over your ankle, while lowering the right knee nearly to the floor. Return to standing. Do 8-10 reps on each side.[/su_box]

This move works more than just the legs; it targets the back, arms, and core in addition to the butt and hamstrings.
Begin standing with your left foot in front of the right foot. Hold a 5- to 8-pound dumbbell in the right hand and keep both arms at your sides. Leaning forward, raise the right foot off the ground and bring it straight up to hip level. At the same time, bring the weight toward the ground and then raise it up to hip-level. Do 12-15 reps on the right side before switching arms and legs to repeat on the left side.[/su_box]
