Set Up:
- Start by getting into a low “bottom of” squat position.
- Shift weight forward and place hands on the ground in front of you.

- Knees drop towards the ground, putting you into a “floating table top” position
- This position will challenge core and hip flexors, quads, shoulders and wrists.
- Recruit core and hip flexors to pull your feet in towards your hands (ending up back in the bottom of squat). If strength level does not allow, this will look more like a small jump in. Over time as strength and mobility improve, this will be a more controlled “pull”.
- Sit back into the bottom of squat and then repeat.
