1 - Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, letting them hang at your sides. Your palms should face inward, and your arms should be fully extended.
2 - Keep your back straight, chest up, and your gaze forward. Engage your core muscles for stability.
3 - Inhale and begin the squat by pushing your hips back and bending your knees. Lower your body as if you were sitting back into a chair. Keep your knees aligned with your feet and prevent them from moving too far forward.
4 - Continue descending until your thighs are at least parallel to the ground or as far as your mobility allows. Ensure your back remains straight throughout the descent.
5 - Exhale and push through your heels to stand back up, extending your hips and knees simultaneously.
6 - Return to the starting position with your arms fully extended, and repeat the squat for the desired number of repetitions.
