Sumo Squat: Amazing At-Home Exercise to Tone and Shape the Glutes

• 1) Grab a heavy dumbbell (or 2 lighter dumbbells you can hold at the same time) and hold one end (dumbbell will be perpendicular to the ground). Stand with feet about twice shoulder-width apart and toes pointed out at an angle.
• 2)  Begin exercise by bending at your hips and knees until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor. Lower back should have a natural arch with chest out. Pause, then exhale as you push back up to the starting position. Legs straight at the end of the squat.
• 3)  Repeat for desired repetitions. 12-15 reps would be a good place to start.

Modifications: You can also do this exercise with a kettle bell or without dumbbells, if you don’t have any equipment.

Enjoy!
