Dumbbell Low Windmill

How to do it

Brace your core tightly before each descent and hold it.

1. 1

   Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in your right hand.

2. 2

   Extend the dumbbell overhead, locking out your elbow and shoulder.

3. 3

   Push your hips back and to the left, lowering your torso until it's parallel to the floor.

4. 4

   Touch your left foot with your left hand, keeping your right arm extended.

5. 5

   Reverse the motion to return to the starting position.

6. 6

   Repeat for the desired number of reps before switching sides.

Common mistakes

• ✕Letting the dumbbell drift below the lockout
• ✕Bending the knees excessively during descent
• ✕Rotating the torso instead of side-hinging
