1. Hip Dominant: Deadlift

This exercise involves your legs, arms, hips, and dumbbells. You are supposed to grab a dumbbell with both your arms and stay on your arm's length in front of your hips. After that, you may bend your hips and knees so the dumbbell would be just a tiny bit higher than the floor itself. Remember not to turn your back into a round shape.

When the dumbbell is lowered to the ground, you may haul your torso back up and push your hips forward while still carrying the dumbbell. Remember to squeeze your gluteus medium as you complete this activity.

For beginners, you may start with three sets of 12 reps, and you can rest for about a minute between each set.

For the intermediate level, you should have a clean grip, with your palms facing the dumbbell inwards, the width should be hand-shoulder. You may do about three sets of 12 reps and should rest for 30 seconds after each set.

For the last or advanced level, you should involve a snatch grip meaning the hands should be about twice the shoulder width and your palms should be facing inwards, dumbbell. When standing straight, the dumbbell should be approximately 2-3 inches below the belly button, not less or more than that; with your arms linear. Do three sets of 10 reps with resting for 15 seconds after each set.

The goal to achieve after this exercise is a significant massive loss if done regularly.

2. Upper Body Push: Push up

This exercise is mainly for increasing your strength and is useful for conditioning too. This exercise involves your arms and lower body. You need a bench or some box which is strong enough to stay in one place. Place your hands on the slider or seat but keep them apart and at the same level of your shoulders. You may then lower your upper body till it touches your chest, after that pause for 2 seconds and starts pushing yourself up again exactly to the starting position as fast as you can.

For beginners, you may push upwards with your hands on the bench, do three sets of 12 reps resting for 0 seconds after each set.

3. Knee dominant: Split Squad Workout

Stand in a lurch posture, with your front foot positioned on a box or any other material that is higher than the ground. Keep both your feet about 2-3 feet apart, while having your front knee a little bent. Leisurely, lower your body as much as you can, rest and then push your body upwards again as fast as you can. Finish all reps on your first leg first and then move on to your other leg.

Beginner levels may split squat with the front foot raised. Practice three sets of 12 reps and take a break of 60 seconds after each set.

4. Upper body pull: Chin up

Bend one end of a heavy exercise band around a chin-up bar and haul it towards the other edge of the band, attaching it rigidly to the bar. Make sure the band is thick enough to provide excellent assistance. Seize the bar with a shoulder-width, deceitful grip. After that, you may place your knees in the middle of the band, dangle at arm's length.

You may go back to this position every time you lower the body downwards. Take exactly one second to haul your collarbone towards the bar and execute a chin-up. Stick your chest out when pulling your body upwards.

You may squeeze your scapula up and down, while forcefully pulling your upper arms downwards. The second your chest touches the bar, stop and consume about 3 seconds to take your body back to the hanging position that will be one rep.

For beginners, neutral grip chin ups may do the job with a medium or firm band. Do sets of 10 reps and rest for a minute or 60 seconds after each set.

For intermediates, it is the same as the one for beginners except you may use a light band.

For advanced levels, you should have no assistance at all.

5. Core Dominant: Carry

Hold a dumbbell in each hand and face your palm towards your thighs. Now walk forward taking normal steps, while keeping your head high and maintaining a balance throughout the exercise. You just have to purchase the best dumbbells with a rack for this.

For beginners hold the dumbbells at sides and perform about three sets of 15 steps (30-45ft) and resting for 60 seconds between each set.

For intermediate levels, you may hold the dumbbells at shoulder level. Do three sets of 15 reps (30-45ft) and resting for 60 seconds between each set.
