Dumbbell Squat to Overhead Press
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold dumbbells at your shoulders, palms facing forward. Lower into a squat until your thighs are nearly parallel to the floor. Quickly return to standing and immediately press both dumbbells overhead. Return to start.
Slider Squat
Stand with a slider (or paper plate) underneath your right foot, arms down at your sides. Lift your arms straight out in front of you and lower into a squat while sliding your right foot to the side until your left thigh is parallel to the floor. Straighten your left leg, pull the right leg back to start, and lower your arms. Finish the set, then switch sides.
