Set Up:
- Start by getting into a low “bottom of” squat position.
- Reaching your hands in front and to one side (the direction in which you want to travel), shift weight forward and place hands on the ground.
- With heels now lifted, shift weight into the bent leg of the direction you’re moving. This knee will likely shift forward in between hands.
- Actively push through the floor, adding load on your hands
- Sweep both feet in the direction you are moving.
- As both feet land, start shifting chest back up to end in your squat position
