Exercise
Dumbbell squat
Dumbbell squat is a moderate exercise. It trains quads and hamstrings. Your body weight is enough.
Detailed explanation
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides. Keeping your chest up and core engaged, lower your body down by bending at the knees and hips, as if sitting back into a chair. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push through your heels to return to the starting position.
