- Start exercise in a kneeling position: knees on mat, core engaged, torso tall, hands on waist or clasped in front, straight line from knees-hips-shoulders, shoulders back, and chest up.
- Drop your hips back until your glutes are touching your heels, keep your body upright as you make the movement from your hips.
- Return to start position in a controlled movement while maintaining a neutral spine for one rep.
Ideas for Exercise Uses:
- Perform as a modified variation of squats if you need to take pressure off of your feet or ankles.
- Add as a floor squat movement with other floor exercises for a full body routine.
- Use as a dynamic stretch when learning how to do kneeling yoga poses.
