Torso Tightener

Torso Tightener - works abs, obliques, butt, thighs

Stand with feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes turned out 45 degrees, and hold one end of a single dumbbell in each hand, arms extended in front of chest so weight is parallel to floor. (Use a dumbbell no heavier than 2 pounds or no weight.)

Lower into a plie squat, abs tight.

Bend at waist to right and bring dumbbell out to right, turning dumbbell so it's perpendicular to floor with left hand directly over right.

Remaining in plie, fluidly straighten torso as you bring dumbbell back to center and return it to parallel to floor.

Repeat to left, bending at waist to left and bringing dumbbell out to left while turning it so right hand is over left. Do 8 reps to each side.
