-
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.
