Instructions
1. Start by standing with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointed out, and your arms by your sides.
2. Begin to lower your body back and down by bending the knees and hips as if you're sitting back into a chair, keeping the chest up and back straight. As you descend, simultaneously reach straight forward with both hands, ensuring you keep your weight on your heels and your knees in line with your toes.
3. Sink down into the squat until your thighs are approximately parallel with the floor, maintaining the reach forward position with your arms.
4. Pause briefly in the bottom sumo squat position, then begin to push through your heels to rise back up while lifting your arms overhead in a smooth, controlled motion.
5. With your arms raised, fully extend your hips and knees to return to a standing position, squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement.
6. Lower your arms back to the starting position by your sides and immediately transition into the next repetition to start the sequence again.
