I like to make my gym time count by working multiple body parts with one exercise, and the Tipping Tow does just that. The rowing action targets the back of the shoulder as well as the upper back, and the tipping part seriously challenges the core. Not to mention, lifting your leg behind your targets your hamstrings and glutes. That's a lot of action for one move.

To see how to do the Tipping Row, just .

• Stand with your right foot back holding a 5-pound dumbbell in each hand. Your left knee should be slightly bent. Inhale to prepare.
• Exhale pull your abs toward your spine and tip forward, lifting your right leg up while your torso lowers (make one long line from the tip of your right toe to the top of your head). Bend your elbows out to the sides, bringing the weights to your chest (just like the bent over row [1]).
• Inhale and return to starting position.
• A slightly easier variation, try tipping forward then rowing rather than doing them simultaneously.
• Do two sets of 10 reps on each side.

Fit's Tip: Make sure your are adequately warmed up before performing this exercise. You don't want to pull a hamstring. Also, if balancing on one leg is proving difficult, practice Warrior 3 [2]. This pose will surely help you with this position.
