Supported Squats

• Hold on to a sturdy support at waist level like a countertop or column

• Have feet close to sturdy support as possible

• Start by hinging at hips bringing buttocks back and down

• Lower yourself in controlled fashion

Do not let knees and lower legs go beyond toes, try to keep the lower leg perpendicular to floor

• Keep slight natural curve to spine by embracing abdomen muscles throughout motion

• Keep head up looking straight ahead

• Pause at bottom of motion and then pull through at the hips and go up.

• Perform multiple controlled repetitions (10-15 is a good goal).

• As you improve and get stronger go lower

• Try not to let back round at end of motion or let knees collapse in or out

• The advance version is only for those with a Superior Level of Fitness

• The advanced version has you going as low as you can go, almost letting you buttocks touch to calves
