How to: Hawaian Squat
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Lower your buttocks down as if sitting in a chair while keeping your knees in line with your toes.
- Go as low as comfortable, ideally until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
- Press back up to the starting position, squeezing your glutes at the top.
Common Mistakes
- Letting the knees cave inward during the squat.
- Rounding the back instead of maintaining a neutral spine.
- Using momentum rather than controlled movement.
Modifications
- Use a chair or wall for support while balancing.
- Reduce the range of motion if you experience discomfort.
Tips
- Keep your chest up and back straight during the movement.
- Engage your core to maintain stability.
- Ensure that your knees do not extend beyond your toes.
