Starting Position: Set up with a box or bench behind you at the height where your thighs are parallel to the ground. Stand on one leg about 4-5 inches in front of a box or bench with your other leg about 1-2 inches off of the floor, holding a Kettlebell or dumbbell in each hand at the shoulders.
Procedure: Squat down and back until your hips just touch the bench or box, and push through the hip to return to your original standing position. To help counterbalance, you can reach your arms in front of you to help increase the squat depth and overall balance.
Coaching Keys: During the squat, use the bench or box as a reference for depth and avoid actually sitting down. If you feel yourself dropping onto the bench or having to sit down, then use a pad to elevate the height you are squatting to.
Feel it: Working your glutes, hamstrings, and quads.
