Instructions:

  • 1Stand up straight while holding a dumbbell on the outer part of each foot with an overhand grip.
  • 2Lower your body while keeping your back straight, until your thighs are parallel to the floor. This will be your starting position.
  • 3Drive through your heels to push your body upwards back to the starting position.
  • 4Repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions

Tips:

  • Keep your head up at all times as looking down will get you off balance.
  • Do not let your knees go past your toes in the down position.
  • Make sure to keep a controlled motion and avoid bouncing upwards from the bottom position.
  • Breathe in as you lower and breathe out as you come back up.
