Stand with your feet wider than shoulder width with your toes pointed slightly out. Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell at chest level with both hands. (If you do not have a weight, simply keep your hands at chest level.)
Keeping your back flat, push your hips backward, bend your knees, and lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the floor and your elbows are close to your knees.
With your weight focused on your heels, push yourself up to the starting position to complete one rep.
