Steps
- Start by standing tall with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Dip down quickly, dropping your hips back and down into a quarter squat, as you swing your arms down behind you.
- Explode back up onto your toes as you extend through your body, raising your arms above your head.
- In one fluid movement, control the descent back down and return to the dip before exploding back up again.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
You should feel it working your whole body.
