About

The V-squat machine is a machine workout that allows you to do squats more stably and comfortably!

How to V Squat

Starting Position

1. Position your body in the center of the machine and place your feet slightly in front of the center of the footrest.

2. Spread your legs shoulder-width apart and point your toes outwards at about 20-30 degrees.

3. Keep your chest up and your back straight.

Proper Form

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

2. Allow your knees to bend naturally until your thighs are vertical to your body.

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

4. As your buttocks rise, straighten your knees and hips in sequence, and return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Breathe in when going down, and breathe out when 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 come off the ground.

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