Parallel Plie Pulse

Setup

• Stand upright next to a sturdy chair, placing one hand on the back of the chair for support.

• Position your feet hip-width apart and parallel to each other.

Movement

• Lower your hips into a partial squat, keeping your chest upright and core engaged.

• Lift your heels slightly off the floor, balancing on the balls of your feet.

• From this partial squat, initiate a series of small, rapid, pulse-like movements by extending and flexing your knees slightly.

• Maintain constant tension in the quadriceps and glutes throughout the entire set.

• Do not return to a full standing position until the desired number of pulses is completed.

Tips for Success

• Ensure your weight remains evenly distributed through the balls of your feet.

• Keep your torso tall, avoiding leaning excessively onto the chair.

• Use the chair only for stabilization, not to support your body weight.
