Brace your core, extend arms overhead. Push hips back, bend knees, lowering hips until thighs are parallel to the floor. Keep chest up, maintain strap tension. Drive through feet to return to the starting position.
To protect your shoulder joints, focus on keeping your arms straight throughout the entire movement, avoiding any bending at the elbows. Actively engage your chest muscles by drawing your shoulder blades slightly back and down, which will help maintain a proud posture and prevent rounding of the upper back. Ensure your knees track directly over your toes during the descent to promote proper alignment and reduce stress on your knee joints. Continuously feel tension on the resistance straps throughout the exercise, indicating that your muscles are engaged and working effectively. Finally, consciously draw your ribs down towards your hips to stabilize your core and prevent excessive arching in your lower back.
