Dumbbell Squats
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.
