How to do it

  1. 1

    Before you start, set the safety stops just below the lowest point of your squat.

  2. 2

    Stand with your back and shoulders against the pads, feet hip-width apart in the middle of the platform.

  3. 3

    Tighten your core, then release the safety handles.

  4. 4

    Breathe in as you lower slowly until your thighs are at least parallel to the platform. Knees point the same way as your toes.

  5. 5

    Breathe out as you push through your whole foot to stand back up.

  6. 6

    Lock the safety handles when you finish.
