How to High Knee Squat

Starting Position

1. Please spread your legs wider than shoulder width.

2. Bring your hands together in front of your chest and make a fist.

Proper Form

1. Tighten your abdomen and keep your waist straight, then bend at the hip to lower your buttocks down.

2. Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the ground as your knees naturally bend.

3. Push strongly through the center of your feet to rise up.

4. As you rise, twist your body to bring one knee to meet the opposite elbow in front of your chest.

5. Proceed one leg at a time or alternately.

Breathing Technique

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

Precautions

1. Please be careful not to lean your upper body too far forward.

2. Keep your chest up and engage your core to avoid bending your waist.

3. Don't excessively bend your waist while trying to keep it straight.

4. Please do not stick your hips too far back.

5. Make sure your feet do not lift off the ground.

6. When standing up, please ensure your knees do not come together.
