SHIFT Fit
Squat
Squat: written movement steps, equipment and example doses. General information to help you choose an appropriate starting point.
How to do it
- Set your feet where they feel natural. Sit your hips back and down as if you are aiming for a chair, keep your chest proud, then drive through the whole foot to stand tall.
- Keep it controlled enough that you could stop the rep cleanly at any point.
Equipment
- none
Example variations
The written steps above use one library example. These other doses are separate options, not instructions to complete every variation or progress automatically.
| Level | Example dose | Equipment |
|---|---|---|
| beginner | 3 minutes | none |
| advanced | 5 minutes | none |
| standard | 4 minutes | none |
Safety and comfort
- What it should not feel like: pinching in the knees or back, or heels lifting
