This Exercise Will Make Your Legs Stronger, Your Arms Bigger, and Your Belly Smaller

What more could a guy want?

You could just stand there admiring your biceps as you do curls.

But if you want to simultaneously burn fat and build lower-body strength while you pump up your arms, try this explosive total-body exercise, says Men’s Health Next Top Trainer Andy Speer, C.S.C.S.

Between reps of the curl and press, you’ll do split switches—a variation on the split squat that requires you to switch leg positions in midair.

Explosive exercises like that require a ton of energy, so your calorie burn will go through the roof. And your leg muscles will be screaming a few reps in, Speer says.
