"We're going to put together now, the Dumbbell Swings, and an overhead press, with a squat position. This is sure to get your heart rate up, work your stomach, work your legs, work your back. Let's say, work pretty much everything. Do as many reps of this, as you can. Try some slow. Try some faster, and mix it up, and you'll feel a difference in this. I'm going to take this with a wider stance. You can go more narrow, if you want. I think it's better here. On this one, for this one, I'm going to turn my toes out, just a little bit too, to change the angle on my squat. Here we go, so you're swing, and notice that once again, that I've got control, so if I go faster, I'm still controlling my arms and my legs, right here, so these are my swings. Notice that I'm not leaning forward, looking straight ahead. I'm working my shoulders. I'm getting my heart rate up, and my legs are working. Now, we go right to that. You hold it up. Down and up. Oh my goodness. I'm going to take my toes. I'm going to point them in. I've got a slight bend in my elbows, so they're not locked out. Notice my arms are slightly in front of me. From the side, I'm not back here. Look at this. Slightly in front of me, so the side angle on these, would be dumbbell swing up, as many as you can do, or at least ten to twelve. From there, hold it here. Down and up, shoulders are burning. Whoa, and there you go. The swings and the presses together, and yes, my heart rate is up."
