How to do it

  1. Hold a dumbbell upright against your chest, cupping the top end with both hands.
  2. Stand with your feet a little wider than shoulder-width and your toes turned slightly out.
  3. Squat down between your knees, keeping your chest up and the weight tight to your body.
  4. Keep your heels down and knees in line with your toes, then push through your whole foot to stand.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
