Muscles worked

Technique

Setup

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes turned slightly out, arms extended forward for balance.

Movement

Push your hips back and bend your knees to lower until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor, then drive through your whole foot to stand.

Form Tip

Keep your chest up and knees tracking over your toes — do not let your heels lift.

Increase Difficulty

Slow the descent to 3 seconds, pause at the bottom, or progress to Jump Squats.

Decrease Difficulty

Squat to a chair or reduce the depth until your mobility improves.
