Dumbbell Squats

Instructions

  • Stand with feet shoulder width apart and toes facing in front of you. Keep dumbbells hanging by your sides or on your shoulders as shown in the pictures.
  • Keeping your back flat, slowly lower your body, bending at the knees and the hips. Stop when your legs form a 90 degree angle. Do not let your knees go forwards past your toes.
  • Slowly push through your heels to return to the starting position, contracting the thigh muscles.

Tips

  • Start with very light weight to perfect your form. If you feel any discomfort in your knees or lower back, stop doing this exercise.
