One of the best exercises to build lower body strength and slimming muscle tone is the dumbbell deadlift.
Exercises like the deadlift work all the core muscles at the same time, including smaller abdominal muscles that are hard to reach.
The core works with other muscles that support the lower back which helps you maintain movement control for better balance and less chance of a back injury.
Exercise Instructions:
Dumbbell Deadlift with Overhead Press
The overhead press also works many of the larger muscles of the upper body like your arms, upper back, and shoulders. Doing two different upper back exercises with no rest in between is considered a "super-set". Doing both of these exercises at the same time can quickly increase your lean muscle mass and burn a ton of extra calories.
