Instructions
1. Stand on one leg with your other leg bent behind you, holding the ankle with the hand on the same side.
2. Extend your free arm out in front of you for balance.
3. Lower yourself down into a squat on your standing leg, going as deep as you can while maintaining balance and form.
4. Keep your chest up and your gaze forward as you squat down, ensuring that your knee does not extend beyond your toes.
5. Once you've reached the bottom of the movement or your maximum depth, push through your heel to rise back up to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching legs.
While performing the shrimp squat, focus on engaging your core and keeping your hips square. It can also be helpful to find a focal point to maintain balance throughout the movement.
