Squat to Overhead Reach with Twist
The squat to overhead reach that turns to one side at the top, the back foot pivoting; alternate the side.
How to do it
Setup
Feet shoulder-width, hands together in front of the chest.
Steps
- Squat deep, chest up.
- Stand and reach overhead, turning to one side and pivoting the back foot.
- Turn back to the front as you squat again; twist the other way next time.
Common mistakes
Twisting the knee instead of pivoting the foot: the back foot turns with the hips. Turning while still in the squat: stand first, then turn. Twisting to the same side every rep: alternate.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale on the twist.
