For this workout you will need:
15 Minutes

Lift right heel off of the ground and bend your left arm to hold the weight about level with your chest. Extend your left arm and leg back at the same time placing only your toe on the ground. Do this for 15 reps and repeat with the other side. This exercise will help to tone the buttocks, hamstrings, triceps, and quadriceps.
Reaching Squats- Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, arms raised above your head holding both ends of a dumbbell. Lower the dumbbell to about waist height as you squat.

Bridge Press- Lie on the floor flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Bend your elbows so that the weights you need to be holding are just over your chest.

This exercise will tone your lower back, chest, triceps, hamstrings, and your buttocks.
Laying Knee Crunch- Lie flat on your back, on the floor, with your left leg straight out and your right knee bend and your right foot flat on the floor.
