Instructions
- Stand straight by placing your feet shoulder-width apart and then bend your knees and lower your hips into a squat to grab your feet with each hand.
- Sit as low as you can. Then lift one arm above your head, pause and return it to the leg. Repeat with the other hand and then stand up to return to the starting position.
Tips
- Try not to round your upper back too much. Instead, keep your shoulders back and your chest up throughout the exercise.
- Don't let your knees drop during the squat.
