A dumbbell sumo squat engages the muscles that move your hip and knee and makes it easier to activate your glutes, Mike told POPSUGAR. You can do it with one or two dumbbells.
- Stand with your feet wide, toes pointing out, holding both dumbbells vertically in front of your chest.
- Bend your knees, lowering your hips deeply, so your thighs are parallel with the floor. Make sure to keep your weight back in your heels.
- Rise back up, straightening the legs completely and squeezing the glutes at the top of the movement to get the most from the exercise.
- This completes one rep.
