Pendulum Squat
Overall lower body, hip upAbout
It's a workout that allows you to sit deep in the squat. The deeper you sit, the more you can use both your thighs and hip joints!
How to Pendulum Squat
Starting Position
1. Get on the pendulum squat machine and firmly secure your shoulders against the shoulder pads.
2. Place your feet shoulder-width apart, slightly turn your toes outward, hold the handles, and puff out your chest.
Proper Form
1. Slowly lower yourself down into a deep squat by bending your knees and hips together.
2. When your thighs are parallel to the floor or lower, please pause for a moment.
3. Push the floor with the entire foot to straighten your legs and slowly rise back to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while coming up.
Precautions
1. Please be careful not to let your knees come too far inward or your toes extend too much.
2. Engage your core to prevent your back from excessively bending or twisting, and start with a weight that allows you to maintain proper form rather than a very heavy one.
