Instructions

  1. Stand up straight and grab a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing inward. The chin should remain parallel to the floor.
  2. Take a big step back at a 45-degree angle, lowering your back knee to the floor. Bend your front knee to 90 degrees, keeping your thigh parallel to the floor. Press your back leg to the floor and bring your knee back under your hips to return to the starting position.

Tips

  • Be sure to lower yourself until your back knee just touches the floor.
  • Make sure you ride on your heels and not on your toes.
