How to practice
Turn your feet out comfortably and bend your knees in line with your toes. Keep the stance moderate and the squat shallow. Rest your hands on your hips and feel both heels on the floor.
Benefits
Builds thigh and hip endurance while practicing a wide stance and stable knee alignment.
Who should avoid or modify
- Turn the feet out only as far as the hips allow. Keep the knees tracking over the toes and reduce the squat depth if the knees or groin hurt.
