Instructions
1. Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointed out.
2. Keep your chest up, back straight, and engage your core muscles.
3. Slowly lower your body by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if sitting into a chair. Continue until your thighs are parallel to the floor, ensuring your knees don’t go over your toes.
4. In the bottom squat position, perform 5 small bounces by slightly raising and lowering your body, maintaining tension in the legs and glutes.
5. After the fifth bounce, drive through your heels and return to the standing position.
6. This is one repetition. Repeat the squat and bounces for your desired number of reps and sets.
Safety Tips:
- Keep the movement controlled to avoid any jerky motions that could lead to injury.
- Ensure your knees are aligned with your toes and not extending past them during the squat.
- It's important to keep your heels on the ground throughout the movement to maintain stability and target the correct muscle groups.
