Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart and toes pointed out to about 45 degrees — hold one dumbbell with both hands hanging between your legs.

Breathe in as you bend your knees and lower the dumbbell toward the floor — keep your chest up and knees in line with your toes.

Breathe out as you drive through both feet and stand back up.

That's one rep — squeeze your inner thighs and glutes at the top and repeat.
Where you should feel it: Your inner thighs, thighs and glutes.
