How to perform it
Step-by-step instructions
- 01Stand with your heels raised on a stable wedge, hold a light support with one hand, and secure a dumbbell with the other.
- 02Brace your trunk, rise onto the balls of your feet as needed, and let your knees travel forward.
- 03Keep your hips extended and lean your body backward as one line while bending your knees deeply.
- 04Descend only as far as you can control without knee pain, using the support for balance rather than pulling.
- 05Contract your quadriceps and press through your forefeet to return to the upright starting position.
