Bend your knees and bring them towards your chest, keeping your feet together and your lower back pressed against the bench.
Slowly lower the dumbbells towards your thighs, keeping your arms straight and your palms facing inward.
Once the dumbbells reach your thighs, pause for a moment, then lift them back up to the starting position using your hip and thigh muscles.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to keep your movements controlled and your muscles engaged throughout.
