Tips

  1. Knees should not pass the toes. This applies to all squatting exercises, except with some exceptions like a full squat.
  2. Keep your gaze looking forward and avoid rounding your back. Keep a natural arch in your lower back.
  3. Clasp your hands out in front your body or behind your back.
  4. Be sure your thighs and buttocks are at least parallel to the ground for maximum results.

Variations

  1. Pulse up and down slightly while your are in squat position. You only need to pulse up and down a few inches. You don't want to come up out of the squat position.
  2. Hold a weight plate with both hands out in front of your body to increase difficulty and target your shoulders at the same time.
  3. Wear a weighted vest to increase difficulty.
  4. Perform on one leg. This is a tough variation and should only be attempted if you are in great shape and someone is with you to help if need be.

    Don't wear a lot of clothes if you're planning on doing this one! It gets really intense as you go, especially after 1 or 1.5 minute
