Instructions
1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms extended out in front of you at shoulder height for balance.
2. Begin the exercise by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if you're sitting down into a chair. Keep your chest up and your weight on your heels.
3. Lower yourself down into the squat position. Your thighs should reach parallel to the floor or go slightly lower, depending on your flexibility and comfort level.
4. Once you reach the bottom position of the squat, instead of standing back up fully, you perform small, pulsing movements by slightly raising and lowering your body. This pulse should only be a few inches up and down.
5. Continue these pulses for a set duration or number of repetitions, keeping the movement consistent and the muscles engaged.
6. After completing the pulses, push through your heels to return to standing position, fully extending your hips and knees to finish one full repetition.
7. Repeat the process for the designated number of sets and repetitions.
Tips: Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability and protect your lower back. Make sure your knees do not collapse inward during the squat; they should be aligned with your feet. Adjust the depth of the squat and the intensity of the pulses based on your strength and flexibility levels. Maintain continuous tension in the muscles by not coming all the way up between pulses.
