Equipment: dumbbell Begin standing with a dumbbell in your right hand and your knees slightly bent. Hinging at the hips, begin to kick your left leg straight back behind you, lowering the dumbbell down toward the ground. When you reach a comfortable height with your left leg, slowly return to the starting position in a controlled motion, squeezing your right glute. Ensure that your pelvis stays square to the ground during the movement. Repeat 10 to 12 reps before moving the weight to your left hand and repeating the same steps on the left leg.
