Turn Deep-Squat

Starting Position:

• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. You can point your toes slightly outward for comfort.

Initiate the Squat:

• Engage your core and begin to lower your body into a squat position.

• Keep your chest lifted and back straight.

Lowering Down:

• Squat down until your thighs are at least parallel to the ground or as far down as you can go while maintaining good form.

• Ensure your knees are aligned over your toes and do not extend past them.

Positioning Arms:

• Bring your hands together in front of your chest in a prayer position to maintain balance.

• Alternatively, you can place your palms on the ground between your feet for support.

Adding the Turn:

• From the deep squat position, slowly twist your torso to the right.

• Reach your right arm towards the ceiling while keeping your left hand on the ground for support.

Stretching:

• Hold this position for a few seconds, feeling the stretch in your back and hips.

• Focus on breathing deeply and maintaining your balance.

Returning to Center:

• Carefully return to the center, keeping your core engaged.

Repeat on the Other Side:

• Perform the same twisting motion to the left side, reaching your left arm up while your right hand remains on the ground.

Final Return:

• After completing both sides, push through your heels to stand back up, returning to the starting position.

Repetitions:

• Aim to perform 5-10 repetitions on each side, focusing on controlled movements and deep breathing throughout the exercise.
