Things to Do

BICEPS CURL. Muscles trained: biceps and anterior deltoids. Sitting on an exercise ball with abdominals contracted, arms extended to the side and palms facing upward. Curl the dumbbells up, bending at the elbow.

BICEPS CURL (Part II): Try not to bend your wrists or squeeze too tightly. Slowly return the dumbbells to the start position. Repeat three sets of 15.

LATERAL RAISE. Muscles trained: shoulders. Using 1- to 8-pound dumbbells, sit on an exercise ball and stabilize your body by contracting your abs. Lift your arms to the sides to shoulder height.

LATERAL RAISE (Part II): Pause briefly, return to the start position. Don't touch your thighs. Repeat three sets of 15.

SHOULDER PRESS. Muscles trained: Shoulders (anterior, medial and posterior deltoids). Sit on an exercise ball and stabilize your body by contracting your abdominals. Start with your hands at shoulder level, press your arms up and slightly in front, but not directly over your head.

SHOULDER PRESS (Part II): Lower to shoulder level. Repeat three sets of 15.
