Benefit:
To increase balance, proprioception and core control. Effectively targets the Glutes and Hammies
Movement:
Hold the Dumbbell infront of your body, DB hanging between your legs. Keep your arms straight and knees slightly bent. Slowly bend at the hip joint, not the waist, and lower the weight without rounding your back.
Looking forward and not at the ground will help you to avoid rounding your back. Drive yourself by “pushing” the floor away, squeezing the glutes to pull yourself up without rounding your back and without using your back to assist in lifting the weight. Focus on the leg drive to get you through the movement.
