How to perform

  1. Hinge at your hips and bend your knees to grip the dumbbells. Keep your back straight.
  2. Stand up by extending your hips and knees, lifting the dumbbells off the floor.
  3. Walk forward with short, quick steps, maintaining a tall posture.
  4. Continue for the desired distance or time.

Form cues

  • Grip the dumbbells tightly.

Common mistakes
