Description

Place two weights on a stable surface, such as a table or a dresser. Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Extend your arms in front of you and grab the weights. Then perform a squat by bending your hips and knees, going down until your arms are horizontal. At this level, keep your arms parallel to the ground for a moment, before straightening up while keeping your arms in this position. When you are standing, lower your arms back to the support, then repeat the movement.
