How to do it

  1. Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
  2. Take a long step forward with one leg and lower until your back knee nearly touches the floor, keeping your body upright.
  3. Push through your front heel to step back to the start.
  4. Repeat on each side.

Do all reps on one side, then switch.

Beginner tip: Take a long enough step that your front knee stays over your ankle.
