Before you get into the strength circuit, we have our perfect form. Today’s is a balance special. It requires being able to hold a dumbbell while squatting and then transferring your body weight – plus that of the dumbbell – onto one leg. You’ll get a great adductor (inner thigh) stretch, as well as glute and core activation.

How to do a goblet squat into leg raise

Holding your weight in both hands at chest height, stand with your feet hip-width apart.
Bend the knees and sit back as if going to sit in a chair (that’s your squat).
Once your thighs are parallel to the floor, come back up to standing and as you do so, start to transfer your weight into your right leg.
Lock in the core and gently lift your leg left out to the side so that you’re standing on the right.
Slowly return the left leg to the floor and immediately squat down.
Repeat on the other side.
