Lever Belt Sumo Squat Instructions

Positioning:
1. Adjust the machine so that the platform is at an appropriate height for your stance.
2. Stand in front of the machine with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward.
3. Position the lever or bar on your hips, securing it with the belt if available.
4. Grip the handles or bar for support.

Movement:
1. Inhale deeply and brace your core.
2. Begin the exercise by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as you descend into a squat. Keep your chest up and your back straight.
3. Lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the floor, or as low as your flexibility allows while maintaining good form.
4. Push through your heels to stand back up, engaging your glutes and quads as you rise.
5. Exhale at the top of the movement.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips:
- Make sure to keep your knees aligned with your toes throughout the motion.
- Keep your core engaged to protect your lower back.
- Start with a lighter weight to master the form before adding more resistance.
