Lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Press on your heels to stand up. Do 3 sets of 12 to 15 reps.

Together

Stand up straight, with your feet parallel and hip-width apart. Step one foot forward. Bring your hands to your hips.

Tighten your core as you bend your knees, lowering them to form a 90-degree curve at both your legs. Keep your upper body straight. Press on your front heel to stand up. Do 3 sets of 10 reps on each side.

Push the dumbbells over your Head

Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart. Stand at the top of your toes. Hold the upper position for a while, then lower your feet. Tighten your core during exercise to maintain balance. Do 3 sets of 15 reps.
