Shrimp Squat

How to do it

1. Stand tall on one leg and reach the other hand back to grip the ankle of the non-working leg, bending that knee so the foot sits near your glute.
2. Brace your core and reach your free arm forward for balance.
3. Keeping your torso upright, bend the standing knee and lower your body under control.
4. Let the bent rear knee travel down toward the floor behind you as you descend, keeping hold of the rear ankle throughout.
5. Lower until the rear knee lightly touches the floor, or as close as control allows, without letting go of the ankle or losing balance.
6. Drive through the standing foot to return to standing, keeping the torso tall the whole way up.
7. Complete all reps on one leg before switching sides.
