Instructions
1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs.
2. Squatting slightly at the knees, hinge at the hips to lower the dumbbells toward the ground.
3. Keep your back flat, chest up, and core engaged throughout the movement.
4. Lower the weights as far as your hamstring flexibility allows, but not past the point where your back starts to round.
5. Drive through your heels and extend your hips forward to return to a standing position, lifting the dumbbells to the starting point.
6. Perform the desired number of repetitions and sets while maintaining proper form.
Remember to ensure that the weight is appropriate for your strength level and that you do not round your back during the movement, as this can lead to injury.
