Compounded Workout (Legs to Upper Body)
A compound exercise involves the contraction from one group of muscles to another. A squat shoulder press starts with quads, hamstrings, and glutes to anterior deltoid, with the core tensed throughout the movement.
Warm-up: Stand on one leg and press the same side arm into the air as you kick back with the opposite leg; do 5-10 minutes walk; or 5-10 minutes on a cardio machine.
Squat-swing (with dumbbell, kettle bell, weighted plate): 2 sets of 8-12 reps
