Simple Weight-Lifting Routine by Denise Austin

Lift 3: One-Arm Row

Target: Middle and upper back

Step 1: Hold dumbbells in your hands with your left foot in front of your right for balance and stability. Lean forward slightly. Bend your left knee slightly and rest your left arm on your left thigh for support.

Step 2: Extend your right arm down all the way to get a good stretch. Keeping your back straight, pull the weight up toward your armpit, bending your elbow as shown, then lower it. Do 8-12 repetitions, then switch sides.

Weight-Lifting Tip: Try to focus your thoughts on your muscles when you are working them, Denise Austin says. "You will get better results and really feel all the good that you are doing for your body," she says.
