Instructions
Preparation
- Stand with arms extended forward.
Execution
- Squat down by bending knees forward slightly while allowing
hips to bend back behind, keeping back straight and knees pointed
same direction as feet. Descend until thighs are just past parallel
to floor. Squat up by extending knees and hips until legs are
straight. Return and repeat.
Comments
- Keep head facing forward, back straight, chest high, and
feet flat on surface; equal distribution of weight through forefoot
and heel. Knees should point same direction as feet throughout
movement. Arms positioned forward allows torso to be positioned
more upright. See Squat
