Squat Tip Toe
Hold a low wide squat and lift the heels one at a time onto the toes; the thighs work in the hold while the calves move.
How to do it
Setup
Wide squat held low, toes turned out, hands clasped at the chest.
Steps
- Rise onto the toes of one foot, the squat held still.
- Lower that heel and lift the other.
- Keep the hips at the same height the whole set.
Common mistakes
Rising out of the squat as the heel lifts: the hips stay low. Knees falling in on the lifted side: push them out over the toes. Rocking the torso side to side: stay square.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
