Squat to Overhead Reach
Squat deep with the hands reaching down between the knees, then stand and reach both arms overhead onto the toes.
How to do it
Setup
Feet shoulder-width, toes slightly out, arms relaxed.
Steps
- Squat deep, the hands reaching down between the knees.
- Stand up and reach both arms overhead.
- Rise onto the toes at the top, then lower into the next squat.
Common mistakes
Rounding the back to reach the floor: chest up; the hands go only as low as the squat allows. Knees caving at the bottom: push them out over the toes. Wobbling on the toes: rise only as high as you can hold.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale reaching up.
