Plie Squat Guide

• Bend your knees and lower your butt to get in the squat position. Keep your back straight and knees aligned with the toes.
• Rise slowly until your knees are straight and then repeat.
• Do at least 10 reps of this exercise and do a full range of motion in each rep.

Trainer’s Tips

• Ensure your back is straight and the navel is pulled in towards the spine.
• Keep your ab and gluteal muscles tight and strong for more muscle engagement.
• If feeling tired you could bounce a bit on the squat position.
• Squatting lower will help stretch your hamstrings more.
