Kneeling Squat

The kneeling squat is a conditioning exercise for the quads and particularly the knees. It can be scaled, or advanced, in order to fit almost any skill level.

Cues:

• Keep the torso vertical both down and coming back up

• Scale as needed to prevent pain

Scale: 

• 1 - vertical torso negative, lean forward to stand

• 2 - Lean forward both down and up

• 3 - Reduce range of motion using a target to preserve accuracy

• 4 - Use your hands to assist the movement as much as necessary

Errors:

• Pushing through pain

• Advancing to a more difficult version too soon
