Dumbbell Squat, Instructions and Tips

Select a pair of dumbbells and hold them at your sides to prepare for the dumbbell squat.

Position yourself so that your feet are shoulder-width apart and your knees are slightly bent. Maintain 
an upright posture and a straight back. This is where everything begin.

Slowly bring your body down, keeping your gaze front. Avoid bending forward while you descend. 
Your posterior ought to protrude and descend vertically.

Pinch yourself as low as you can, or until your thighs are parallel to the floor, and then slowly push through your heels to raise your body back up.

When you stand up, do not lock your knees out; instead, continue the motion.

Exercise Advice: 

When squatting, it’s imperative that you maintain a straight back! Maintaining an arched back, shoulder blades back, eyes forward, and chest out will help you maintain a straight back. To help keep your back in position during the exercise, maintain tension in your core muscles.
 

All the time, drive up through your heels. To ensure you are using the proper technique, curl your toes.

Don’t ever bend forward. When your hips rise more quickly than your shoulders, this occurs. Keep your rep time deliberate and gradual, and stick your buttocks out as you descend to avoid this.

It is important to squat with your hips dropping straight down, not forward. Perfect your form by standing side on to a mirror while using a light weight. Never let your knees cross your toes and track outward.

In order to really benefit from squats, you must lower yourself until your thighs are about parallel to the floor.
When lowering or pushing the weight, avoid pointing your knees in or out. The knee joints are unnecessarily strained by this.

Never cast a downward glance. It’s as simple as looking down your back rounds.
