  • Hold a dumbbell at the base with both hands and stand straight up. Move your legs so that they are wider than shoulder-width apart from each other with your knees slightly bent.

 

  • Your toes should be facing out, and your arms should be stationary while performing the exercise. This is the starting position.

  • Slowly bend the knees and lower your legs until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Make sure to inhale as this is the eccentric part of the exercise.

  • Press mainly with the heel of the foot to bring the body back to the starting position while exhaling.

  • Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

CAUTION

  • Failure to keep your back straight can result in a back injury.
