Topic description

Stand shoulder-width apart, grasp weights (dumbbells/kettlebells) with one hand each, arms bent so that the elbows are practically at shoulder height and pointing forwards (hold dumbbells/kettlebells next to the respective ear). Bend your knees to approximately a right angle at the knee joints (buttocks at about knee height) and stretch back to the starting position.

Attention:
Move your buttocks backwards, not your knees forwards. Keep your knees behind your toes. Keep your back straight at all times (tense your core), distribute your weight over your entire foot, push your knees outwards (do not tilt them inwards). A support for the heels makes the exercise easier.

Lighten:
Do not lower the buttocks too low (greater angle in the knees); lighter or no weight.

Harden:
Stable support.

Material

2 dumbbells

1 soft mat (small)/raised base ► make the exercise easier (position)
1 balance cushion/balance board ► make the exercise more difficult (unstable base)
