PARTIAL/HALF SQUAT EXERCISE

PARTIAL/HALF SQUAT EXERCISE TECHNIQUE

• Standing up tall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Toes can be facing forward, or slightly outwards.

• Holding onto your chair with both hands or keep your arms out straight in front for balance.

• Engage your core, hinge (bend) at the hips and sit back as you would if you were to sit on a chair.

• As you sit back, keep your chest up and your core tight and go no lower than 45 degrees.

• As you stand back up, put equal weight through both legs, ensuring your heels remain on the floor throughout.

• Make sure your knees stay in the line of your toes, they don’t go forward past your toes and they aren’t moving inward throughout the exercise.

• Repeat for the set repetitions.
