- Hold a weight in each hand.
- Place the weights on or against your shoulders with your elbows out.
- Stand up straight, tighten your abs and glutes, and look straight ahead.
- Bend your knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
- Pretend to sit on an imaginary chair.
- Keep your back as vertical as possible.
- Keep your elbows in front of you. The higher the elbows, the more vertical your torso will be.
- Push down on your heels to return to the starting position and tighten your glutes.
