| Description: | Stand and grab two dumbbells with your knees slightly bent and your feet hip-width apart. Hold the weights at shoulder level with your palms facing toward you. Without changing the bend in your knees, hinge at your hips and lower your torso until it's almost parallel to the floor. Pause, and return to the starting position. That’s one repetition. Don’t allow your lower back to round as you perform the exercise. | ||
