3. Begin with the hips and knees flexed, trunk in a slight forward lean, the spine in a ready position, and weight over the ankles.

TECHNIQUE:

1. Bend the knees. Slowly begin to lower the body only to a point where the legs form an approximate 90-degree angle or only as far as you can while maintaining a natural arch in the lower back.
2. Hold, continue to contract the glutes, quads. and hamstrings, and stabilize with trunk.
3. Contract the glutes and hamstrings. Slowly begin extending the legs, keeping the weight over the ankles.
4. Extend the legs back up to their original start position while maintaining proper spinal positioning. Repeat.
