Dumbbell Wood Chop Squat

Expert Advice

Use a weight that allows you to maintain control throughout the movement and focus on the rotation coming from your torso, not just your arms.

Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell with both hands in front of you.
Squat down, keeping your back straight and bringing the dumbbell to the outside of your left knee.
As you stand up, twist your torso to the right, raising the dumbbell diagonally across your body until it's above your right shoulder.
Reverse the motion, bringing the dumbbell back down to the outside of your left knee as you squat.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
