- Stand with your feet slightly wider than your shoulders, feet parallel or toes slightly turned out. Bend your knees, lowering your hips deeply, bringing your thighs parallel with the floor and touching your elbows to your knees, keeping weight back in your heels.
- Then rise back up, straightening the legs completely, squeezing the glutes at the top of the movement to get the most out of the exercise.
Beginner modification: Do a basic squat and don't worry about bringing your elbows to your knees.
