Bodyweight Sumo / Wide Stance Squats
How to Do Bodyweight Sumo / Wide Stance Squats
- Stand with your feet in a wide stance, with your toes slightly pointed outwards – like a sumo wrestler. Hold your hands together in front of your chest.
- Keeping your back straight, lower your body towards the ground by bending your knees.
- As you reach a fully squatting position (legs are bent at a 90-degree angle), hold the pose for 1 second before driving your feet into the floor and slowly push your body back up to the starting position.
- For a bonus, tense your glutes at the top of the movement.
