Hold the dumbbells at your sides with your arms straight.

Lower your body straight down until your left knee is about 3 inches from the ground, keeping the natural curve of your spine by tensing your abdominal and lower back muscles.
 
Reverse the movement and return to the starting position.
 
Repeat with opposite leg forward.
