Description

Stand facing a bench or chair, holding a relatively heavy dumbbell in one hand. Step onto the bench using the leg on the side of the dumbbell to lift your body weight, then bring the other leg over the bench without leaning on it. Maintain control of the movement, then slowly lower yourself back to the starting position. Repeat the exercise in a smooth, controlled manner, ensuring that you keep your core stable and maintain your balance throughout the movement.
