Here is the Primetime 6:

Bent Knee Dead Lifts: A strong back that you can count on staying fit. To perform this exercise you can use a set of dumbbells or barbell. This exercise should be performed with strict form. Load the barbell or grab a set of dumbbells that will allow you to do 12-15 repetitions. This could take a few tries so stick with it.

Stand with your up straight and grasp the dumbbells or barbell with an overhand grip a little wider then your shoulders; just out side your thighs. Inhale a deep breath to stabilize your core area. Slowly bend with your knees slightly bent, keeping your chest up and back flat until it is parallel with the floor. Slowly exhale and stand up straight. Repeat for the allotted reps and sets.

See Saw Shoulder Press: This exercise will do a great job at firming up your upper torso, improving your should girdle and giving you a coconut looking set of shoulders. This exercise not only aids in a strong set of shoulders but also helps with entire body stabilization which helps prevent injuries. Perform this exercise for 12-15 reps to each side left and right.

To perform the exercise stand with your knees slightly bent, belly button drawn in a touch, and feet shoulder width apart. Your palms should be facing each other. Hold the dumbbells over head for 5-10 seconds, then slowly lower one side to shoulder level or parallel to the floor. Pause at the bottom for 2 seconds then slowly push the weight back up. Repeat this action with the opposite arm. Alternate this pattern for the reps prescribed.

Bulgarian Lunge: Stand up and place one leg on a low beach about 2 feet behind you. The top of your foot should be in contact with the top of the low bench or you can use low stairs.

Repeat for the other leg and do 2 sets for each leg.

T-Push Up: Get on the floor face down and support your weight with your toes and hands. Your feet should be together and your palms flat on the floor a little wider then should width. Your body should form a straight line from your neck to your ankles. Keep your head in neutral (not facing up) and draw in your belly button slightly to keep a strong core. Slowly lower your body towards the floor. Lower your chest to within one inch of the floor keeping good alignment. Push yourself back up to the starting position, then twist to your right side, lifting your right arm so it's perpendicular to the floor and it forms a straight line with your torso and left arm. Your head and eyes should follow your hand, so you are looking at up at the top hand. Slowly lower down and perform another push up and repeat twisting to the left side. Perform 8-10 T push ups, four to each side. Do 2 sets of this exercise.

Speed Skater Walk: Slowly draw your belly button in to stabilize your core. Then stand with both feet together and knees bent to 90 degrees if you can.

Take a big step forward with your right leg. Let your left leg extend as much as possible. Slowly drag the toes of your left foot up until they are even with your right foot. As soon as this happens, step forward with the left extending your right leg. Perform 10 strides with each leg rest a minute and repeat.

Basic Plank: Lying face down, prop yourself up on your elbows and toes. Make sure your palms down and facing forward and your belly button is gently drawn in. Elbows should be directly under your shoulders and you eyes should be looking at the floor. Hold this for 30 seconds. Rest 30 seconds and repeat 5-10 times. Try to work up to 1 minute holds
