Description

Place your rear foot on a raised surface and your front foot on a step to increase the range of motion. Hold a dumbbell in the hand on the same side as your rear leg, with your arm relaxed at your side. Slowly lower yourself by bending your front knee, letting it move forward and leaning your chest slightly forward to target your front leg more. Once down, push through your front foot to come back up to the starting position, keeping your core engaged and your balance steady despite the weight.
