Do this Ashley Simpson workout program without resting (the back–to–back, non–stop pace shreds calories). You'll need a pair of 5– to 7–pound dumbbells (adjust the weight as necessary, though, to suit your fitness level), a step or bench, and a jump rope.

Keeping upper arms still, curl weights to shoulders. Lower and repeat. Do 20 reps.

Traveling lunge: Stand with feet hip–width apart, hands on hips or holding a 5– to 7–pound dumbbell in each hand. Step forward with right leg and lower into a lunge.
