Exercise of the Day: Dumbbell Swing Through

This exercise is great for working most of the large muscle groups in the body.

Here's how to do it:

1. Grasp a dumbbell with both hands, and stand erect with your feet about 16 inches apart.

2. With your arms straight, bend at the waist until your upper back is parallel with the floor.

3. Exhale and raise up with the dumbbell held at arm's length until it is directly overhead as you come to an erect position.

4. Lower the dumbbell back to starting position in the same semi-circular motion and inhale.

Remember, don't hold your breath through the exercise. Inhale and exhale deeply, and keep the oxygen flowing!
