Squat & Press

Tone your whole body with the squat & press! Strengthen legs & core while building shoulder strength. A simple, effective, full-body exercise.

Instructions

Squat Press Up

Positioning

1. Starting Position: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward. Keep your arms bent at the elbows, with your hands close to your chest.

Movement

  1. Squat Down: Begin by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if sitting in a chair. Keep your chest up and back straight. Lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the ground or as low as comfortable.

  2. Press Up: As you stand back up from the squat, extend your arms overhead. Make sure to engage your core and maintain balance.

  3. Repeat: Perform the squat and press movement for 10 to 15 repetitions.

Tips

  • Keep your weight on your heels while squatting.

  • Ensure your knees do not go past your toes.

  • Engage your core muscles throughout the movement.

  • Breathe in while squatting down and breathe out as you press up.
