Weighted Counterbalanced Squat

Instructions

1. Hold a dumbbell or weight plate at arms' length in front of the chest as a counterbalance.
2. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and toes slightly turned out.
3. Squat down by pushing the hips back and bending the knees, keeping the chest tall and the weight acting as a counterweight.
4. Descend until the thighs are at least parallel to the floor.
5. Drive through the heels to stand back to the starting position.
