Curtsy Curl Part II: Lunge back with the right leg so it extends back and to the outside of the foot. Curl the arm upwards then return to starting. Continue for 1-minute before alternating sides.

Intermediate Chest Press Part I: Either place the resistance band under your shoulders and held in each hand, or wrap around the body to stop it from moving. Hold band evenly in each hand.

Intermediate Chest Press Part II: Slowly straighten the arms and raise hands over the shoulders. Hold, then lower back to starting. Continue for 1-minute.
