Sumo Squat Cues:
- Start exercise in a standing position: feet slightly wider than shoulder width, toes pointed slightly out, core engaged, hands at waist or in front, shoulders back, and chest up.
- Drop your hips back and down as you bend at the knees; keep weight on your heels.
- Return to start position in a controlled movement while maintaining a neutral spine for one rep.
Ideas for Exercise Uses:
- Perform as a squat exercise movement in a full body workout.
- Add high rep count of bodyweight Sumo Squats in between low rep count of weighted squat variation.
- Use as an alternative to regular squats for someone with knee issues to alleviate direct pressure on knees.
