1.The Start
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, toes pointed forward, shoulders square and back straight.
Hold 2 dumbbells at your sides, palms facing in.
-
2.The Movement
Step forward with your right foot.
Keeping your upper body perpendicular to the floor and your dumbbells at your side, bend at the knees until your left knee almost touches the floor and your right leg makes a 90 degree angle at the knee.
Pause for a split second at the bottom, then raise up to the start position by pushing through your lead heel.

Watch your form!
To protect the knee on your front leg, don't let it bend beyond your toes. If needed, lengthen your stance.
Your back knee should never come in contact with the ground, slowly lower within 2-4 inches before returning to starting position.
