30 Oct The Squat to Pike

Posted at 14:32h in Exercise, General Fitness by

The Squat-to-Pike is a fantastic mobility drill for opening up your whole body, especially your hamstrings and low back.

Here’s how it works.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Starting Position: Stand with your feet hip-width apart.

Step 1: Bend forward and grab your toes. bend your knees if you need to.

Step 2: SQUAT

While continuing to hold onto your toes, squat down low. Your butt should sit towards the floor and your eyes should look straight ahead.

Step 3: PIKE

Straighten your knees and raise your hips towards the ceiling.

Trainer Tip: Breathe IN as you squat and breathe OUT as you pike.

 

I hope that felt as awesome for you as it did for me.

Stay busy. Stay fit.
