Step 1
Hold a dumbbell at the base with both hands and stand. Move your legs, so they are shoulder-width apart, bending your knees slightly. The toes should be facing out. This is the starting position.
Step 2
Slowly bend your knees and lower your legs until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Remember to inhale as this is the eccentric part of the exercise. Push up mainly with the heel of the foot to return the body to its original position as you exhale. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.

Dumbbell Sumo Squats targets Glutes, Hamstrings, Quads as seen below.

Keep your head, torso straight, back straight, and feet straight.
Keep your knees and feet out to the sides in the same direction.
Don't let the dumbbells touch the floor. If possible, stand on an elevated surface to allow room for a full range of motion without the dumbbell hitting the floor.
You can use a kettlebell instead of a dumbbell.
