How to do it
Brace your abs as if expecting a punch during reps.
- 1
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointed out.
- 2
Lower into a squat position, keeping your chest up and back straight.
- 3
Instead of standing back up, stay in the low squat position and perform small up and down pulses.
- 4
Pulse for the desired number of repetitions before standing back up to complete one set.
Expert tip
Keep your weight in your heels and maintain proper alignment by not letting your knees go past your toes. Pulse in a controlled manner to maintain tension in the muscles.
Common mistakes
- ✕Rising too high and losing tension each pulse
- ✕Knees caving inward during the pulse phase
- ✕Swinging the arms to generate pulse momentum
