How to Do the Sissy squat

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes pointing slightly outward. Hold onto a stable object for balance if needed. Slowly lower your body by bending your knees and leaning back, keeping your torso upright. Continue lowering until your thighs are parallel to the ground or as far as you can comfortably go. Pause for a moment, then push through your heels to return to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
