Instructions
1. Stand in front of a bench with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell in each hand at your sides, with your palms facing toward your body.
2. Engage your core and keep your chest up and back straight throughout the movement.
3. Slowly lower your body by bending at the knees and hips as if you are sitting back into a chair, keeping the weight in your heels. Allow your arms to naturally follow the motion, but ensure your palms are still facing inward.
4. Continue to sit back until your glutes lightly touch the bench. Make sure your knees are aligned with your toes and do not extend past them.
5. Press through your heels to drive your body back up to the starting position, extending your hips and knees until you reach full standing position.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
7. Make sure to perform the exercise in a controlled manner, focusing on the muscle tension throughout the movement rather than the speed.
