  3. 3. Push the floor with the entire foot to straighten your legs and slowly rise back to the starting position.

Coach's Comment

  1. 1. Please be careful not to let your knees come too far inward or your toes extend too much.
  2. 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.
