Exercise Description

The dumbbell squat builds strong quads, glutes, and hamstrings while improving lower body power. It's perfect for building muscle and burning calories in one move.

How To

1. Hold dumbbells at your sides with arms straight and feet shoulder-width apart 2. Keep your chest up and core tight as you begin the dumbbell squat movement 3. Lower down by pushing your hips back and bending your knees until thighs are parallel to floor 4. Drive through your heels to stand back up, keeping the dumbbells close to your body 5. Squeeze your glutes at the top and repeat for your target reps

Form Tips

• Keep your knees tracking over your toes during the dumbbell squat to protect your joints • Hold the dumbbells steady at your sides - don't let them swing forward or backward • Keep your chest up and eyes forward throughout the entire movement • Go only as low as you can while keeping good form in your dumbbell squat

Common Mistakes

• Letting knees cave inward instead of tracking over toes during the dumbbell squat • Leaning too far forward or rounding your back as you lower down • Not going deep enough or rushing through the dumbbell squat movement
