Instructions:
- 1Begin by standing with feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, holding the dumbbell with both hands in front of your chest
- 2Lower your body into a deep squat, making sure your thighs are parallel with the floor
- 3Hold the position for a moment and then push back up to your starting position
- 4Keep your weight in your heels and your back straight throughout the movement
- 5Repeat the exercise for the desired amount of reps
Tips:
- Do not allow your knees to go over your toes while squatting to prevent injury

- Remember to breathe - inhale on your way down, exhale on your way up
- Engage your core throughout the entire exercise for better balance and enhanced muscle activation
