How to do it

Setup. Feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly out, arms in front for balance.

  1. Sit your hips back and down as if onto a low chair.
  2. Go as deep as you can with your heels down and chest up.
  3. Stand up by pushing through your whole foot.

Most common mistake

Knees caving in. Push them out over your toes.

Coach's tip

Squat to a chair or bench at first so you know how low to go.
