Step 1
Stand in front of a bench or step holding a pair of dumbbells, arms at your sides, palms facing inward. Stand on the bench and press your foot into the bench to straighten the leg as you lift the other leg. To work on balance, don't let the other leg come in contact with the bench. Just leave it hanging on the bench. -
