Exercise Advice: Hold the dumbbells in each hand and hold them with your arms hanging straight down in front of your body. Begin this movement by bending at the waist and lower the dumbbells to the floor. Be sure to keep your legs as straight as possible (a slight bend is ok) and really let the weight of the dumbbells bring you down. On the way up, really focus on your butt and hamstrings to pull the weight back up. It is very important to keep your back straight and rigid throughout this exercise and to let your legs and butt do the work.
