Instructions
1. Starting Position:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- If using a wall, stand facing it at a comfortable distance where you can lean slightly against it for support.
2. Lowering Phase:
- Begin to lower your body into a squat position by bending your knees.
- Keep your back straight and chest up throughout the movement.
- Aim to lower your thighs to be parallel to the ground, or as low as you are comfortable while maintaining proper form.
3. Heel Lift:
- While in the squat position, lift your heels off the ground so you are balancing on your toes.
- This position enhances the engagement of your calves, thighs, and glutes.
4. Hold Position:
- Hold this position for a few seconds, focusing on maintaining balance and engaging your core.
5. Return Phase:
- Slowly lower your heels back to the ground while standing back up to the starting position.
- Engage your glutes and thighs as you rise.
6. Repetitions:
- Repeat the squat and heel lift for 10 to 15 repetitions, or as many as you can maintain proper form.
7. Breathing:
- Inhale as you lower down and exhale as you push back up to the starting position.
Additional Tips:
- Keep your knees aligned with your toes to avoid strain.
- If you feel any discomfort in your knees or back, reduce the depth of your squat.
- Focus on slow, controlled movements to maximize the benefits and reduce the risk of injury.
