Instructions

Setup

Standing with feet shoulder-width apart, maintain a tall posture with core engaged.

Movement

  1. Begin by hinging at the hips and bending your knees to descend into a deep, controlled squat.

  2. In the low position, reach your arms towards the floor, keeping your chest lifted and spine neutral.

  3. In one fluid motion, drive through your heels to stand back up, simultaneously extending your arms fully overhead and rising onto your toes if desired for extra extension.

  4. Lower your arms and hips back down to repeat the motion.

Tips

  • Focus on maintaining a flat back throughout the descent.

  • Ensure your knees track in line with your toes.

  • Keep the movement controlled, prioritizing depth and full arm extension.
