Straighten the knees returning to the top position, lower down into the squat again, and jump back up. Keep the left leg straight. Press down through the right heel to return back to the starting position. Repeat 10 times to the right, and then switch to the left for 10 repetitions.
Advanced modification: When you come back to center, lift the lunging leg up and out to the side to work the outer hip before moving on to the next rep. Start standing with your feet as wide as your hips. Then, step your left foot back and lower down into a lunge. Press down through the right heel as you lift the left leg straight up behind you to work the hamstring and glute. Then lower back down into the lunge. Repeat this 10 times and then switch sides.
Beginner modification: Take out the leg lift and perform a standard backwards lunge. If you need extra support, hold on to a railing or a table to help with balance. Then come back to center and repeat on the other side. Complete 10 reps on each side. Beginner modification: Only curtsy halfway down, then come back to the starting position. Start with your feet open wider than your hips, and turn your toes out to the sides. Pull your abs in, and then bend your knees.

While lowering down into the squat, hold the dumbbells by your sides and then raise them up out to the sides just as high as your shoulders. As you stand up from the squat, lower the weights back down to your sides. Repeat 10 times, for 3 sets total.
Lying on your stomach, pull your naval in towards your spine. Reach your arms in front of you, relax the shoulders, and squeeze the glutes. Then, lift your legs, arms, chest and head off the ground, and slowly lower back down.
