You can handle heavier weights than using dumbbells. You can target not only your hip muscles but also your core muscles by using barbells!

4. Keep your chest up and your back straight.
Proper Form
1. Step one foot forward and lower yourself until the angle of both knees is 90 degrees.
2. Keep your chest open and your back straight as you return to the starting position.
3. Switch legs and perform the same on the opposite side.
