Begin with a single dumbbell standing upright between
your legs, which are a little wider than shoulder
width apart.
Movement:
Take a deep breath, tilt the pelvis forward, push
the butt back, bend at the knees and pick up the dumbbell
from underneath, exhale on the way up
Key Points:
Several points to remember: keep the weight on the
heels, look straight ahead, keep the back flat or
even a little arched, and be sure to keep your arms
straight and perpendicular to the floor the entire
time.
If the floor is too far to travel to pick the weight
up, one can begin with the dumbbell in their hands
and then move as far as flexibility allows.
Also, one needs to tilt further forward than with
a squat
