Instructions & Biomechanical Cues
Begin in an upright standing position with your feet a little wider than shoulder width apart, back and chest straight and both arms extended straight above your head. Keeping your arms straight the whole time, begin squatting by sending your hips back and down. When you finish the squat, your glutes and quads should be parallel with the ground. Keep your back as straight as possible throughout the exercise. Push yourself back up to the starting position using your glutes and quads. Repeat for desired amount of reps.
