A foundational lower body movement that promotes strength, balance, and full-body coordination.
Instructions
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands behind your head or at your sides.
- Begin the movement by bending your knees and hips, sitting your hips back as if lowering onto a chair.
- Continue downward until your thighs are parallel to the ground or full depth if able.
- Press through your heels and return to the starting position, keeping your head and chest up and your knees tracking outward.
