How to Do the Plie Dumbbell Squat

1. 1Hold a dumbbell at the base with both hands and stand straight up. Move your legs so that they are wider than shoulder width apart from each other with your knees slightly bent.
2. 2Your toes should be facing out. Note: Your arms should be stationary while performing the exercise. This is the starting position.
3. 3Slowly bend the knees and lower your legs until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Make sure to inhale as this is the eccentric part of the exercise.
