How to do it

  1. Stand with feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, while standing as tall as you can.
  2. Grab a weight plate and hold it out in front of your body with arms straight out. Keep your core tight and stand with a natural arch in your back.
  3. Now, push hips back and bend knees down into a squat as far as you can. Hold for a few moments and bring yourself back up to the starting position.
