- Start exercise in a seated position on a chair or bench: feet slightly shoulder width, core engaged, hands at waist or in front, shoulders back, and chest up.
- Drive through your feet as you go from a seated position to a standing position.
- Return to start position by dropping your hips back and down as you bend at the knees in a controlled movement for one rep.
Ideas for Exercise Uses:
- Perform as a warm-up exercise before doing squats in your regular workout routine.
- Add as modification to regular squats until you have built up strength to do the movement correctly without assistance.
- Use as a slow controlled movement in the sit down phase to work on your core strength and body control.
Exercise Variations:
- Stability Ball Wall Squats (Beginner)
- Goblet Squat (Advanced)
