Instructions
1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding the weighted bag with both hands next to your left hip.
2. Squat down by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, keeping your chest up and core engaged. As you squat, keep the bag close to your left hip.
3. As you push through your heels to return to standing, simultaneously lift the bag diagonally across your body in a chopping motion. Finish with the bag over your right shoulder, extending your arms fully.
4. Reverse the motion by bringing the bag back down in a diagonal chopping motion as you squat down, returning the bag to your left hip.
5. Complete the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides, so the bag starts next to your right hip and finishes over your left shoulder.
Make sure to perform the exercise in a controlled manner, focusing on engaging your core through the entire movement to protect your lower back. Adjust the weight of the bag according to your fitness level.
