How to do it

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a balloon in front of you.

4. Stand back up and tap the balloon again as it comes down, repeating the process.

Form tips

• Start with a shallow squat if you are new to the exercise and gradually increase the depth as you become more comfortable.
• Focus on keeping your back straight and your knees aligned with your toes during the squat.
• Perform the movement smoothly and with control to maximize muscle activation and coordination.
