How to perform

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly outward. Perform a deep squat, pushing hips back, keeping heels flat and chest up. Ensure knees track behind toes. Drive up to standing, engaging glutes and reaching arms overhead, extending through fingertips. Control the descent back to the squat, maintaining a steady rhythm. Inhale on the descent, exhale on the ascent.
