Plant both feet on the floor further than shoulder-width apart. Point both feet slightly outward, holding one dumbbell in front of the chest. This is your starting position.
Looking straight ahead, bend at both the hips and knees, ensuring that your knees remain in line with your toes. Continue bending your knees until your upper legs are parallel with the floor. Ensure that your back remains within 45-90 degrees of your hips. and keep your weight back in your heels.
Push through your heels and extend your legs to return to the starting position. Squeeze the glutes at the top of the movement to get the most from this exercise.
