How to perform it
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides. Keeping your chest up and core engaged, slowly lower your body down by bending your knees and pushing your hips back. Continue lowering until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push through your heels to return to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
