Muscles

Technique

  1. Grab one dumbbell in each hand and stand up.
  2. Take one very long step forward and bend the front leg until your back knee almost touches the ground.
  3. Push yourself back up to the initial position, then repeat on the other side.

Form tips

  1. Go down as low as possible, aiming for a fully-bent front leg and a 180 degrees opening between your front and back thighs.
  2. Aim to keep your back leg as straight as possible (a slight bend is ok).
  3. Keep your torso straight up (vertical).
  4. The front foot should be facing forward and the front knee should travel forward in line with the toes.
