Stand with your torso upright and feet together while holding two dumbbells in your hands (starting position). Take a step forward with your right leg and lower your upper body downward, while keeping the torso upright (maintain balance). Do not allow your right knee to go beyond your toes (keeping your shin perpendicular to the floor), inhale as you go down. Using mainly the heel of your right foot, push up to go back to the starting position as you exhale. Repeat the movement for 10-15 repetitions (less if this is your first attempt). Once you have completed one leg rest for 60 seconds and repeat the exercise on the opposite leg. Begin with 1 set and add in sets as you progress for a total of 2-3 sets. If you need assistance with this exercise or any of the many variations - please speak with one of our personal trainers.
