# Bodyweight Kneeling Sissy Squat

Start in a kneeling position with your knees on the floor and your torso upright.

## How to do it

1. Start in a kneeling position with your knees on the floor and your torso upright.
2. Lean back slowly, keeping your body straight from your knees to your head, engaging your quadriceps.
3. Return to the upright kneeling position, repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions

## Form tips

- Engage your core to maintain stability and prevent your lower back from arching.
- Keep your core engaged to stabilize your spine and prevent lower back strain.
- Focus on a smooth and steady movement to maintain balance and ensure proper form.
