Instructions:
- 1Hold a dumbbell vertically in front of your chest, with both hands cupping the dumbbell
- 2Stand in a split stance with one foot in front of the other and reasonable distance between your feet
- 3Lower your body into a squat position, ensuring your front knee does not pass your toes
- 4Push back up to the standing position through the heel of your front foot
- 5Repeat on the other side
Tips:
- Keep your core tight and maintain your upright posture through the entire movement
- Your back knee should come close to but never touch the floor
- Focus on the mind-muscle connection to engage the glutes and quads more effectively
- Concentrate on pushing through your front heel to return to standing, this maximises glute activation
