Overview

The dumbbell single leg squat is an exercise targeting the glutes as the main muscle group. It is a unilateral exercise, meaning it is performed on one leg at a time. This exercise helps to isolate and strengthen the glutes, as well as improve balance and coordination. To perform the dumbbell single leg squat, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Step forward with one leg and lower your body until your thigh is parallel to the floor. Keep your weight on your front heel and your back knee slightly bent. Pause for a second, then return to the starting position. Repeat on the other leg.
