1 - Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides with a neutral grip.
2 - Shift your weight onto your left foot and step your right foot diagonally behind and to the left, crossing it behind your left leg as if performing a curtsy.
3 - Bend both knees simultaneously, lowering your hips toward the ground until your front thigh is nearly parallel to the floor. Keep your torso upright and your chest tall.
4 - Ensure your front knee tracks over your toes and does not cave inward. Your back knee should hover just above the ground.
5 - Push through the heel of your front foot to drive yourself back up to the starting position, bringing your right foot back to the starting stance.
6 - Repeat the movement on the opposite side by stepping your left foot diagonally behind and to the right.
7 - Alternate sides for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining controlled and balanced movement throughout.
