This intense exercise combines strength, stamina, coordination and mobility.

Body position is a squat. Using something to heighten the heels makes it easier to go lower. This also targets the quads more efficiently. Warm up the knees, be careful and try not to hold a constant 90 degree position between upper and lower leg. This causes the most pressure to the knee so either go lower or stay a little more upright.

Upper body is straight and hands move side to side.

To make this exercise harder you can perform the full range of motion of the squats while moving side to side.

If you have trouble with your knees, please make sure to make this exercise carefully and stop at any point when you’re feeling uncomfortable.
