• Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and holding a dumbbell in each hand.
    Place one foot slightly behind the other, with the heel of your back foot elevated on a step or weight plate.
    From this starting position, bend at the hips and knees to lower the dumbbells towards the ground, keeping your back straight and your core engaged.
    Once the dumbbells are below your knees, drive through your heels to stand back up to the starting position.
  • Set up a bar at mid way up your quad. Place the working leg against the bar.
    Place one foot behind. You should only be on your toes on that back foot. Your front foot should be planted flat the entire time.
    Bend your back knee and push your hips back. Look for a stretch in your front hamstring.
    When you feel the stretch, push your hips forward again until you're back in a standing position.
  • Place a barbell at about midway up your thigh. Press your quads into the barbell.
    Push your hips back while leaving your knees mostly extended. Look for a stretch in your hamstrings.
    When you feel the stretch, push your hips forward until you're back in a standing position.
  • Hold two dumbbells at shoulder height, palms facing inward.
    Squat down, then drive upward, pressing one dumbbell overhead.
    Lower dumbbell as you descend again, alternating arms each rep.
