Step 1
Take a pair of dumbbells in your hands and stand with your feet hip-width apart, toes pointing forward or out at a slight angle. The position of your feet depends on the comfort of your posture. Distribute your weight evenly across your feet, heels, and midfoot. Inhale using diaphragmatic breathing and start stretching your abs. Start squatting with knees forward, hips slightly back and straight down.
Step 2
Make sure your knees follow your toes. Keep looking ahead. Control the descent of the squat with an upright posture.
Step 3
When you reach the end of the squat, take a 3-second break. Hold your breath. Exhale forcefully and come out of the bottom of the squat.
