Squat with One Dumbbell

Squat with One Dumbbell

Holding a weight is one way to add intensity to the basic squat and a bit easier than holding two weights (see the Squat with Dumbbells) or using a barbell. Make sure you keep the abs in and the back straight as you squat down rather than rounding forward.
