3m 4s
Begin by standing, feet slightly turned out in comfortable stance. Ground your feet fully into the floor, then lower down into a seated position. Lead with your hips, moving backwards as you pull down. Reach your arms out in front of you, focussing on keeping a neutral spine and activated core. At the bottom of your Squat, push out against the ground below you to return to standing. Keep your knees in line with your toes throughout, only descending into a range that feels good for you. With proper form, add load to both arms, holding your weight to each side directly below your shoulders.
