Workout move of the week: single leg deadlift

I don't know why this is called a dead lift, other than the fact that when I first did these, my legs felt dead! However, it is a great exercise for your hamstrings and is a more gentle exercise for your core.
I found this on Pinterest, and it was love at first sight! Thanks to Women's Health (http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/exercises-for-women?page=4) for posting it!

You need a pair of dumbbells

Stand feet hip width apart, with the weights at your waist.
Kick one leg back like a pendulum
Hold for a breath
Return to start
Do 2-3 sets of 12 with each leg
