Bodyweight Squat with Trunk Rotation
Build lower-body strength and core mobility with this dynamic combo. Squat deep, then rotate your torso on the way up to improve functional balance and spinal flexibility. No equipment needed.
Instructions
Setup
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
Place hands together in front of your chest or at your sides.
Movement
Squat: Lower your hips down and back as if sitting into an invisible chair, keeping your chest up and knees aligned with your toes.
Rise: Drive through your heels to return to a standing position.
Rotate: Immediately upon standing, rotate your torso and upper body to one side. Pivot your feet slightly to allow for range of motion while maintaining core engagement.
Repeat: Return to center, perform another squat, and then rotate to the opposite side.
