Single-Leg Touch

You will feel your glutes lifting and burning after just a few reps of this move.

  • Holding a 10-pound dumbbell in your right hand, stand on your left leg with your right foot lifted.
  • Keeping your back flat, bend your left knee while bending forward at your hips to lightly touch the dumbbell to the ground. Keep your right knee bent and your right leg close to your body.
  • Push through your left heel and return to the starting position to complete one rep; try to keep your right foot off the ground as you complete all your reps.
  • Start with 12 reps on each leg for a set, and do two to three sets.

If you're new to strength training, try this exercise without a dumbbell and work up to adding weight.
