EXERCISE INSTRUCTION

  1. Take the dumbbells of the desired weight in your hands and hold them at the hip line.
    Spread your legs shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, straighten your back, statically strain your abs, look forward.
  2. While inhaling, keeping your back straight, begin to bend, slightly bending your hips and slowly pulling your glutes back, holding the dumbbells near the front of the thigh to just below the knees.
  3. Having reached the lowest point of the trajectory, the back is almost parallel to the floor, with the effort of the hamstrings and buttocks as you exhale, begin to reverse the movement, transferring the weight to the heels.
  4. Return to starting position.
