How to do it
- Stand with your feet close, rise onto the balls of your feet and hold something for balance.
- Push your knees forward and lean your whole body back in one straight line.
- Lower until your knees are far in front of your toes and your quads are fully stretched.
- Pull yourself back up by pushing your knees back.
Watch out: Bending at the hips — your body from knees to shoulders stays rigid.
