Take your weight back into your heels and lower your body by bending the legs, leading with the bottom, and with knees directly over the middle toes. Keep your back straight. Aim to lower to 90 degrees, pause for a moment, then raise yourself back up and repeat.
Lunge
Stand with your feet below your hips with a dumbbell in each hand. Take a big step forward with your right leg, bending both knees so that the right knee aligns over the right toes, and the left knee travels towards the floor. Keep the torso upright. Pushing up through the front heel, straighten the legs and return to the start position. Next, take a big step ahead, again ensuring the knee aligns over the toes. Step back and then repeat the two moves with the left leg. Complete all repetitions.
