Dumbbell Single Leg Deadlift

This exercise works one leg at a time to make the muscles in your bottom, the back of your legs, and your lower back stronger. Because you must stand on one foot while holding a weight and bending forward, it also helps you improve your balance.

How to Perform

  1. 1Stand tall with your feet a little bit apart. Hold the weight in your right hand.
  2. 2Move your body weight onto your left leg. Lift your right foot just a tiny bit off the floor.
  3. 3Keep your back straight and flat. Bend forward at your hips to lower the weight toward the ground.
  4. 4As you bend forward, reach your right leg straight back behind you. Keep your standing knee slightly bent.
  5. 5Go down until your upper body and your back leg make a flat line with the ground.
  6. 6Stop for a second. Then, use your leg muscles to stand back up to where you started.
  7. 7Do this as many times as needed, then switch to the other leg.
