Instructions:
- 1Stand on one leg, holding a dumbbell in each hand, at your sides
- 2Slowly bend at the knee and hip of the standing leg, lowering your body and the opposite leg as you maintain balance
- 3Go as low as you can, but not more than the point where your thigh of the standing leg is parallel to the floor
- 4Pushing through the heel of your standing foot, rise back up to the original position
- 5Switch legs and repeat for your desired number of repetitions
Tips:
- Keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the movement
- As with any single leg exercise, maintain good balance. If needed, do not hesitate to hold onto a wall or a chair for support.
- Do not allow the knee of your standing leg to go beyond your toes
- Control the movement at all times. Do not rush the exercise
