How to do it

  1. Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand at your sides, palms facing your legs.
  2. Set your feet about shoulder-width apart, toes turned out slightly, and look ahead.
  3. Bend your knees and push your hips back to lower until your thighs are about parallel to the floor.
  4. Push through your heels to stand back up.

Beginner tip: Keep your chest up and your eyes looking forward the whole time.
