Kneeling Squat
A 200-characters-or-less explanation of the exercise.
Instructions
- Start by kneeling on a soft surface, with your feet flat and knee-width apart.
- Hold a weight or barbell across the upper back if desired, keeping your chest up and the core engaged.
- Drive your hips back and down towards your heels, keeping your back straight.
- Reverse the motion, squeezing your glutes as you return to the starting position.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not keeping the back straight, leading to potential strain or injury.
- Allowing the knees to flare outward too much.
- Not engaging the core, leading to loss of balance.
- Using momentum instead of controlled movement.
