Bend your right knee at a 90-degree angle for stability, while your left leg remains straight and aligned with your body.
Lift your hips off the ground, creating a straight line from your head to your feet, while simultaneously lifting the dumbbell upwards with your left hand, keeping your arm straight.
Hold this position for a few seconds, engaging your core and glutes to maintain balance and stability.
Lower your body and the dumbbell back to the starting position. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of reps before switching to the other side.
