How to Do
How to Do Sissy Squat With Bodyweight
The sissy squat should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the sissy bodyweight squat.
Beginning
Beginning Sissy Bodyweight Squat
Grab a 3 inch high block or step (pretty much anything that can hold your weight and won't move while you're performing the exercise is fine, such as a dumbbell or a weighted plate). This will assist you in maintaining your ankles raised throughout the movement.
