Sissy Squat

How to Sissy Squat

Starting Position

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and prepare a pole or bar that you can hold in front of you.

2. Slightly lift your heels and shift your weight towards the balls of your feet.

3. Keep your torso straight and open your chest.

Proper Form

1. Please slowly lower yourself as if pushing your knees forward while keeping your heels lifted.

2. Feel your body leaning back and the stretch in the front of your thighs.

3. Lower yourself only to your own range of motion without going too deep, then rise back up using your thigh strength.

4. Please repeat in the same rhythm.

Breathing Technique

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

Precautions

1. If you have knee pain, please reduce the depth or substitute with another exercise.

2. Please engage your core and stabilize your torso to avoid bending your back.

3. It's okay to rely heavily on the support you are holding at first.
