Half Squat
Step 1
Plant both feet on the floor shoulder-width apart. Gently draw your pubic bone to your belly button (engage pelvic floor). This is your starting position. Inhale. Bend at both the hips and knees, until you feel tension in your glutes and hamstrings. Ensure that you maintain a proud chest, keep your knees aligned with your toes and weight through your heels.
Step 2
Exhale and push through your heels to extend your legs to return to the starting position. You should feel the weight going through your glutes and quads. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions or time.
