Squat Mobility Complex
Holding the toes, move from a deep squat to a forward fold and back; the hips open at the bottom, the hamstrings at the top.
How to do it
Setup
Deep squat, heels down, feet hip-width, arms inside the knees and fingers under the toes.
Steps
- Keeping hold of the toes, lift the hips until the legs straighten.
- Let the head hang as the backs of the legs lengthen.
- Bend the knees and sink back into the squat, chest up.
Common mistakes
Heels lifting in the squat: widen the stance and sit only as low as they stay down. Forcing the legs straight: stop where the grip on the toes still holds. Rushing between the ends: move slowly and pause in each.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
