Things You'll Need:
- Two 5-lb weights
-
Step 1
Take a moment to understand the importance of perfect exercise form in weight lifting. Practice the move without the weight.
-
Step 2
Keep your face forward and, with a weight in each hand, place your hands on the tops of your thighs.
-
Step 3
Lower just your thighs until they are lateral with the floor.
-
Step 4
Maintain the lift in your chest as the torso naturally moves a little forward as you squat. Try not to lean. Keep the core strength and achieve a 90-degree flex in the hips and knees.
-
Step 5
Hold your heels on the floor at all times during this exercise.
-
Step 1
Hold one weight in each hand.
-
Step 2
Stand erect with excellent posture with your feet apart, just under the hips.

Side step out with your right foot. As it hits the ground, flex your knees until your thighs are lateral to the ground. Keep your knees from lunging over your toes.
-
Step 4
Lift and push off with your right foot to come back to your starting position. Repeat the same motion on the other side.
-
Step 5
Continue the exercise on both sides until three sets are achieved, resting two minutes between sets.
-
Step 1
Stand with your feet together. Hold the weights in each hand at your side.
-

Take a step out in front of you, forming a lunge position.
