  2. Stand on the platform with your feet shoulder-width apart and the weight hanging between your legs.
  3. Hold onto the support handles or a sturdy surface for balance.
  4. Lower your body by bending your knees and hips, keeping your back straight and your chest up.
  5. Squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
  6. Push through your heels to return to the starting position.
  7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
