Examples of a squat and “box” squat…
- Squat example video. This move can be done with or without weight AND with or without the bench. Start in the standing position, feet should be about shoulder width apart. Drop your butt back like your are sitting down, keep looking forward, go down as far as you feel comfortable, and pause for a second. Then, push through your heels to stand backup. This is one rep.
- “Box” squat example video. Start by sitting on the box/bench/chair. Your feet should be shoulder about shoulder width apart. Push through your heels to stand up. Pause. Then, sit backdown. This is one rep. Can be done with or without weight. (I typically do this option when my knees are hurting me.)
