Instructions

  1. Stand with one foot on the sliding disc, and rest on the floor with the other. Drive your hips back and slide the disc to the side, lowering your hips and bending your other knee. Raise your arms in front of your chest as you lower and keep your body weight on the heel of your skating foot.
  2. When the bent leg reaches 90 degrees and the straight leg is fully extended, lift yourself up by bringing your leg back to the starting position.

Tips

  • Don't let your knees drop.
  • Don't let the heel of your foot lose contact with the ground as you squat.
  • Try not to start the squat by pushing your knee forward. Instead, push your hips back.
