How: Combine a resistance exercise that works the arms with a lower body move to kill two birds with one stone

Start by standing with feet a little wider than hip width apart. Grip the ends of the towel with each hand and hold it taut overhead, pulling for resistance. Lower down into a squat, bringing the towel down in front of your chest until it is parallel to the floor, then squeeze your glutes and return to standing, raising the towel overhead again. Complete three sets of 10.
