Deep Knee Bend
From standing with the feet together, bend the knees all the way down, rising onto the balls of the feet to sit on the heels, then stand.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, feet together, arms by the sides.
Steps
- Bend the knees and sink straight down, the heels lifting.
- Sit onto the heels at the bottom, the chest up.
- Push through the balls of the feet to stand.
Common mistakes
Dropping into the bottom: lower under control. Knees splaying apart: keep them together over the toes. Rounding forward: keep the chest up the whole way.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
