Exercise of the Day - Iron Cross

This sounds like a brutal exercise and you are not wrong. We did these the other day in a circuit training class I took and I really liked them but they kicked my ass. Basically you take two dumbbells (don't go too heavy, these are hard) and you do a squat and hold the dumbbells at your chest together, as you come up out of your squat you put your arms our parallel to the ground and keep your arms straight. Do 4 sets of 10 repetitions with 30 secs rest between. You can Superset these with Burpees!

Here is what they look like:

Here is a video demonstrating the technique:
