Dumbbell Rows
If you're familiar with the Dumbbell Row, you know the exercise starts off with positioning yourself parallel to a workout bench. Place one hand and knee firmly onto the surface to maintain good balance. Take hold of a dumbbell with your opposite hand and your arm extended straight down toward the ground. Then, bring the dumbbell up toward your hip, squeezing your lats and upper back at the end of the movement. Straighten your arm back down, and get a solid stretch at the bottom before completing the next rep. Perform 3 to 4 sets of 8 to 10 reps for each arm.

Barbell Reverse Lunges
To gear up for Barbell Reverse Lunges, place a barbell on your upper back. Make sure your core remains tight and your chest stays tall. With one leg, take a long stride back until your knee touches the floor. Then, drive through your front foot's heel to rise back up, flexing your quad and glute to finish. Complete 3 to 4 sets of 10 reps on one leg before performing the exercise on the other.
Arnold Presses
For this next exercise, grab two dumbbells and hold them at shoulder-width height with your palms facing you. While lifting the dumbbells over your head, rotate your palms and elbows out and away from you, and smoothly press the weights up. Flex your shoulders at the top, then reverse the movement back to the starting position before doing the next rep. Perform 3 to 4 sets of 10 reps.
Decline Bench Garhammer Raises
The Decline Bench Garhammer Raise will have you working on a decline bench with both of your hands gripping the end. If you don't have a decline bench readily available, feel free to place some weight plates underneath a workout bench, as shown above. Then, bring your knees up to 90 degrees, and drive them towards your chest, flexing your lower abs. Bring your knees back down to the position you started in before completing the next rep. Perform 3 to 4 sets of 15 reps.
Rower Intervals
This workout to shrink your FUPA wraps up with Rower Intervals. Hop on the rowing machine, and begin with 5 sets of 200 meters. Rest twice as long as you took to finish in between. Try to maintain the same pace for each set you complete. If you're more conditioned, feel free to perform 4 sets of 250 meters or 5 sets of 300 meters.
