# Bodyweight Pulse Squat

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands on your hips or extended in front of you.

## How to do it

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands on your hips or extended in front of you.
2. Lower your body into a squat position, ensuring your thighs are parallel to the floor and your back is straight.
3. Perform a small pulsing movement by slightly raising and lowering your body in the squat position.
4. Return to the starting position. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

## Form tips

- Keep your feet flat on the floor to maintain balance and stability.
- Keep your chest lifted and your back straight to avoid leaning forward excessively.
- Perform the pulsing movements slowly and with control to maximize muscle activation and prevent injury.
