Place hands on a box, bench, or step slightly wider than but in line with shoulders. If you can't find a box, the floor is still okay.
Slowly lower body until your chest nearly touches the bench.
Pause at the bottom, and then push back up to the starting position as quickly as possible.

Grab a kettlebell or dumbbell with both hands and hold it at arms length in front of hips.
Bend at hips and knees to lower the weight to the floor.
