Sumo squat – how to do it right
Feet wide, toes out, dumbbell hangs between your legs.
This is how Stickfreed, our glowing stick figure, shows you the exercise on your TV – here the start, middle and end position. In the app he turns slowly so you can see everything.
How to do it
- Wide stance, toes out.
- Knees push out over your toes.
- Stay tall – the weight hangs in the middle.
How long?
40–45 seconds at a steady pace: slow on the way down, strong on the way up. 2–4 rounds. With dumbbells or without weight; BLOX remembers your weight.
If something niggles
Knee niggling? Then do Squat to chair instead – BLOX swaps it automatically if you mention it at the start. Stop if it hurts; if you have complaints or pre-existing conditions, check with a doctor or physio first.
