Description

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a weight with your arms extended above your head. Perform a squat by pushing your hips back and bending your knees to a comfortable depth. Make sure to keep your knees aligned with your feet and your back straight. Simultaneously, bend your arms to bring the weight to your chest level. As you return to the standing position, extend your arms above your head again to lift the weight. Return to the starting position and repeat the movement in a smooth and controlled manner, while maintaining regular breathing.
