Deep Squat Assisted with FMT

Place the handles at a high point of attachment and run the middle of the tubing around your back. Grab the foam handles and make sure the tubing is underneath your arms. Wrap arms around tubing once and keep arms relaxed through the movement. Place feet shoulder width apart. Begin deep squat by bending your knees, keeping them wide but keeping feet flat. Slowly lower down as far as you feel comfortable.

Keep the trunk over feet and chest up during the movement. For more assistance, slide further away from the point of attachment and/or add a heel lift if needed to make squat feel better. Before starting your exercise, please make sure the point of attachment for the tubing is secure.
