Instructions
1. Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing out at about a 45-degree angle. This is your starting position.
2. Engage your core and keep your chest lifted as you bend your knees and lower your hips down and back as if sitting into a chair. Make sure to push your knees out in line with your toes and keep your weight in your heels.
3. Lower down into a quarter squat, which means you don't go as deep as a normal squat. Your thighs should not reach parallel to the ground; stop when they are just about halfway there.
4. Rapidly extend your legs, driving through your heels, to return to the starting position. The movement should be quick and controlled.
5. Repeat the quick quarter squats for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining a steady pace and proper form throughout the set.
Remember to breathe regularly throughout the exercise, exhaling as you push up to the starting position, and inhaling as you lower into the squat.
