Dumbbell Squats

Do it:

 

  • Start with your feet shoulder-width apart and 8- to 10-pound dumbbells by your thighs.
  • Squat down as if you were going to sit in a chair, keeping your weight over your heels.
  • Squeeze your glutes as you return to the start position.
  • Do 15-20 reps.
  • As you continue, keep the weight in your heels, making sure your knees do not pass forward of your toes.
  • For a bigger challenge, try it without the weights, jump explosively, and land in the squat position.
