Dumbbell Front Squat

Quads Dumbbell

Description

The dumbbell front squat is a lower-body exercise that primarily targets the quads, glutes, and core. Holding the dumbbells at shoulder height increases core engagement and helps maintain an upright posture throughout the movement. It improves lower-body strength, balance, and stability while being easier on the lower back than some barbell variations. This exercise is suitable for all fitness levels and can be easily adjusted by changing the weight.

How To

01 Hold dumbbells at shoulder height, elbows up

02 Brace your core and keep your chest tall

03 Sit back into a squat until thighs are parallel

04 Drive through your heels to stand and repeat
