Equipment
Slowly bend at the hips, keeping your back straight and your right knee slightly bent, lowering the dumbbell towards the ground while extending your left leg straight behind you for balance.

Slowly return to the upright position by contracting your glutes and hamstrings, bringing your left leg back down to meet your right.
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions, then switch the dumbbell to your left hand and repeat the exercise with your right leg raised.
