Squat with Internal Foot-Tap
Instructions
Getting Started
Stand with feet hip-width apart and toes pointing forward.
Movement Pattern
Squat Down: Initiate a standard air squat by hinging at the hips and bending the knees. Lower your hips back and down as if sitting into a chair while maintaining an upright chest.
Engage Core: Keep your abdominal muscles tight to maintain stability throughout the movement.
Perform the Tap: As you reach the bottom of the squat, lift one leg slightly and bring it inward to gently tap your opposite ankle or lower calf with your foot.
Return and Reset: Place your foot back down so you are once again in your wide squat stance at the bottom of the movement.
Switch Sides: Power back up to the starting position and repeat the process on the other side, alternating the tapping foot with each repetition.
