Circuit Two: Plié Squat With Side Arm Raises

Stand with legs wide and toes pointed outward slightly. Hold a pair of dumbbells in your hands with your arms straight and your palms facing down.
Bend your knees until they are over your ankles while raising arms to just below shoulder height. Arms should be in line with your legs — you should see the weights in your peripheral vision.
Straighten your legs and lower your arms simultaneously.

Do 15 reps.

Weight workouts burn fat best. I do some of these and I'm going to add some of the others. Good ideas to get to all areas.

gr8 workout, to make it even more challenging I add 5 minutes of jumping rope...1 set after warming up then another set after each circuit and to cool down I use Fit's lower body strecth yoga...totals up to about 1hr.
