01 / Steps

How to do it

  1. Start standing with your feet together and a dumbbell in each hand at your sides. Keep your back straight, chest out, and look forward.

  2. Then, take a large step to the side with one leg, keeping the other leg in place. At the same time, bend the knee of the moved foot until the thigh is parallel to the floor, and lower the dumbbells to either side of the forward foot. Make sure to keep your torso upright and not allow your front knee to go over the ball of your foot.

  3. Finally, push with the leg that took the step to return to the starting position. That would be a repeat. Then, repeat the movement with the other leg. Remember, it is important to perform this exercise with a load that allows you to maintain correct technique and control the movement at all times.
