Circuit 2, Exercise 2: Squat Pulse

Stand with your feet shoulder- or hip-width distance apart, holding a dumbbell at each shoulder.
Bend your knees as you shift your hips and butt back, lowering into a squat like you're sitting on a chair.
Keep your chest lifted, and do not let your lower back round. Keep your knees over your ankles, and shift your weight back into your heels.
Engage your core and keep your weight in your heels as you come up out of your squat a few inches, then lower back down. This is your pulse.
Do 15 continuous pulses, moving up and down, before straightening your legs to stand up and move to the next exercise.
