Exercise Description

The kneeling dumbbell hold to stand exercise builds quad strength and power while training your body to move from kneeling to standing under load. Great for sports and daily activities.

How To

1. Start kneeling on both knees holding a dumbbell at chest level with both hands 2. Step your right foot forward and plant it flat on the ground while keeping the dumbbell close to your chest 3. Drive through your right heel and bring your left foot forward to stand up tall in the kneeling dumbbell hold to stand movement 4. Hold the standing position for 1-2 seconds while squeezing your glutes and keeping your core tight 5. Reverse the movement by stepping back into the kneeling position and repeat the kneeling dumbbell hold to stand on the other side

Form Tips

• Keep the dumbbell close to your chest throughout the entire kneeling dumbbell hold to stand movement • Drive through your heel when standing up rather than pushing off your toes • Keep your core tight to maintain balance and protect your lower back • Make sure your front knee tracks over your toes when transitioning from kneeling to standing in the kneeling dumbbell hold to stand

Common Mistakes

• Letting the dumbbell drift away from your body during the kneeling dumbbell hold to stand which throws off your balance • Rushing the movement instead of controlling each phase of the exercise • Leaning too far forward when transitioning from kneeling to standing in the kneeling dumbbell hold to stand
