1. Squat pressure is by far the best lower body movement, combined with shoulder pressure to make it a full body movement. The Los Angeles based personal trainer, Eli Ackley, recommended the move to her clients, "because the whole move requires two physical forces. This burns more calories and absorbs more muscle fiber than a single exercise, giving you more impact on your money. "How to do it: raise 5 to 10 pounds of dumbbells on your shoulders, squat down and make sure your knees don't exceed your toes and your feet point straight ahead. Squat down until your hamstrings are parallel to the floor. When you step out of the squat, push hard with your heels and press the dumbbell on your head, palms facing each other. Do this exercise in three groups, 12 to 15 times each time.
