Equipment
Lower your body by bending at the knees and pushing your hips back, keeping your chest and head up and your back straight.
Squat down until your hips are slightly below your knees or as low as you can go comfortably, making sure that your knees stay in line with your feet and do not go past your toes.
Push through your heels to lift your body back up to the starting position, keeping the dumbbell steady in your hands.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining proper form throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
**Keep Your Back Straight:** It's crucial to maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise. Avoid rounding your back or leaning too far forward, as this can lead to injury. Instead, keep your chest up and your back straight. **Correct Dumbbell Hold:** Hold the dumbbell vertically with both hands. The dumbbell should be held at arm's length directly below your chest. Make sure your grip is firm but not overly tight to avoid unnecessary strain on your wrists. **Controlled Movement:** A common mistake is rushing through the movement. Lower your body in a slow, controlled manner until your thighs are parallel with the floor. Avoid dropping too quickly into the squat, as this can cause injury. **Full Range of Motion
