Step by step

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and a dumbbell on the floor beside each foot.
2. Push your hips back, bend your knees and grip the dumbbells with a flat back, chest up.
3. Brace your belly and push the floor away until you stand tall.
4. Lower them the same way: hips back first, then bend your knees.

Tip: The easiest way to learn the deadlift: the weights sit beside you, not in front.

Go easy: Chest up and back flat from the first pull to the last; set the dumbbells down, don't drop them.
