Quadriceps

The exercise works mainly the quadriceps muscles. Sit down on a bench, with your back straight and clamp a dumbbell between your feet, make sure that your legs form a 90-degree angle between the lower and upper leg. If the angle is less than 90-degrees then that means the knee is over the toes which in turn creates undue stress at the knee joint.
Using your quadriceps, extend your legs to the maximum as you exhale
Ensure that the rest of the body remains stationary seated
Pause a second on the contracted position
Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position as you inhale, ensuring that you do not go past the 90-degree angle limit
Repeat for the desired number of reps.
