About

Use a belt to reduce upper body strain and focus on your legs.

How to Belt Squat

Starting Position

1. Attach weights to the belt squat machine or the belt.

2. Place the belt above your hips, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and position yourself in the center.

Proper Form

1. Push your hips back and bend your knees to go down.

2. Sit until your thighs are close to parallel with the floor.

3. Push off the ground with your heels to stand up.

4. Repeat in the same rhythm.

Breathing Technique

Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while coming up.

Precautions

1. Make sure to position the weight well in the center so it doesn't sway back and forth.

2. Keep your back straight and your chest forward.
