Exercise: Dumbbell Squat

Objective:

Equipment:

• Kettle bells or dumbbells of a suitable weight.

Technique:

• Set up bar dumbbells on your sides.
• Start with feet about shoulder-width apart with toes slightly outwards.
• Lower the body by hinging at the hips and knees while your glutes move down and back until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
• Press up through your feet while squeezing your glutes to return to the upright starting position.
