Exercise Directory: Uppercut with Light Dumbbells

This exercise focuses on working your arms, shoulders, core/midsection, and your lower body.

STEP #1: Start by grabbing two light dumbbells ... one for each hand.

STEP #2: Next stand tall with your feet about shoulder-width apart with your toes pointing forward ... and your knees slightly bent.

STEP #3: Bend your elbows and lift the dumbbells so that they are shoulder level ... palms facing your shoulders.

STEP #4: Keeping your palms facing your shoulders, take your right arm/dumbbell and dig in as if you are trying to clip someone in the chin in front of you [be careful not to clip yourself in the chin].

Front View:

STEP #5: If done properly, you will be throwing your entire body into this movement ... engaging your core/midsection.

STEP #6: At the top of the upper cut, you will drive your left heel off the floor ... as you twist your body.

STEP #7: Next you will alternate doing the same movement with your left arm/dumbbell.

STEP #8: Continue to alternate between your right arm and your left arm for 30-40 repetitions.

STEP #9: Rest and repeat.
