Setup instructions

1 ) Stand tall with a slight bend in the knees.

(To find your optimum squat stance it is possible to do a vertical jump as high as you can and see where your body naturally places your feet)

Perform instructions

1) Slowly bend your legs and lower yourself into a squat position. Keep the chest up, core tight, back flat and head neutral. Ensure knees push out over toes.

2) Lower your legs until you've reached your maximum range without heels lifting.

3) Pause at the bottom. Press into the heels and drive back to the starting position.

4) Repeat for required reps.
