Dumbbell Thrusters.
This exercise hits three things at once, Lower Body, Upper Body and Cardio output, the lower body is hit by performing the first stage of the exercise, the Squat, then as you come up from the squat you use a little of the kinetic energy to thrust the dumbbells up above the head into a shoulder press, its this rapid changeover that gets the heart working, first your using the large muscles of the legs to do the squat, so blood transportation down towards them, then straight up and above the head you go with the shoulder press, blood pumping that way too.
It can be made harder by increasing the load caused by the dumbbells, but don't exceed what you are capable of, and always remember your posture.
