Instructions

Starting Position

  • Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your core engaged.

  • Keep your chest tall and shoulders back.

Squat Movement

  • Initiate the movement by pushing your hips back as if sitting down into an invisible chair.

  • Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the floor or lower, keeping your weight in your heels and your knees tracking over your toes.

Calf Raise

  • Once at the bottom of your squat, maintain the squat position.

  • Simultaneously press through the balls of both feet to lift your heels off the ground as high as possible, engaging your calves.

  • Lower your heels back to the floor while continuing to hold the bottom of your squat.

Completion

  • Drive through your heels to return to the starting standing position.
