Squat Mobility Twist
Sitting in a deep bodyweight squat, open the chest to one side and reach that arm up toward the ceiling; the other hand stays at the knees.
How to do it
Setup
Deep squat, heels down, knees pushed out over the toes, hands together between the knees.
Steps
- Open the chest to one side and raise that arm high.
- Stay low; the hips and heels do not move.
- Bring the hand back to the knees and open to the other side.
Common mistakes
Heels lifting in the squat: widen the stance or sit a little higher. Knees caving as you turn: keep them pushed out. Rounding the back to stay low: chest up, the turn from the upper back.
Breathing
Exhale reaching up, inhale returning.
