How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand by your sides.

  2. 2

    Breathe in as you bend your knees and sit your hips back to lower down.

  3. 3

    Breathe out as you stand back up and straighten your legs.

  4. 4

    Keep your chest up and your weight in your heels, then repeat.

Where you should feel it: Your thighs and glutes.

What your coach says mid-set
