• Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and holding a dumbbell in each hand.
    Place one foot slightly behind the other, with the heel of your back foot elevated on a step or weight plate.
    From this starting position, bend at the hips and knees to lower the dumbbells towards the ground, keeping your back straight and your core engaged.
    Once the dumbbells are below your knees, drive through your heels to stand back up to the starting position.
  • Start by standing with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart and holding a dumbbell in each hand.
    Place the dumbbells on the ground between your feet.
    From this starting position, bend your knees and lower your body down into a squat.
    Make sure to keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the movement.
  • Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and holding a dumbbell in both hands.
    Bend your knees slightly and hinge at the hips to swing the dumbbell between your legs.
    From this starting position, explosively extend your hips and swing the dumbbell up to chest height.
    Allow the momentum of the swing to carry the dumbbell back down between your legs, and then repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
  • Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and holding a dumbbell in each hand.
    Bring the dumbbells to your shoulders, with your palms facing inward and your elbows bent.
    From this starting position, dip your knees slightly and then quickly extend them as you press the dumbbells upwards.
    As you press the dumbbells upwards, also push your hips forward to help generate additional power.
    Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position, and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
