Instructions
Preparation
- Stand with dumbbells grasped to sides. Stand with feet far apart; one foot forward and other foot behind
Execution
- Squat down by flexing knee and hip of front leg until knee of rear leg is almost in contact with floor. Return to original standing position by extending hip and knee of forward leg. Repeat. Continue with opposite leg.
Comments
- Knees should point same direction as feet throughout movement. Allow heel of rear foot to raise off floor during descent so weight is transferred to forefoot. Keep torso upright during squat; flexible hip flexors are important.
