Brace your core and keep your torso upright. Lower hips until the back knee is just above the floor, ensuring your front knee tracks over your toes. Exhale and drive through your front foot to return to the starting position. Complete all reps on one side before switching.
Maintain an upright chest to engage your core and prevent rounding of the back, which will help stabilize your spine throughout the movement. Keep your elbows tucked close to your body to maximize bicep engagement and minimize stress on your shoulder joints. Focus on driving through your front heel to power the upward movement and ensure you're utilizing your glutes and hamstrings effectively. Aim for a vertical shin throughout the exercise, avoiding excessive forward lean which can put strain on your lower back. Keep your eyes focused on a fixed point in front of you to maintain balance and proper spinal alignment.
