GLUTES

Kneeling Squat

IntermediateBodyweight

The kneeling squat is a squat variation done from a kneeling position, which removes stress from the knees and lower back. With balance largely taken out of the equation, it lets you focus intensely on the quads and glutes. It's a good option for anyone with mobility limitations or who wants to isolate the upper legs.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Kneel tall with your knees about hip-width apart and your toes tucked under your heels.

  2. 2

    Brace your core and keep a neutral spine.

  3. 3

    Sit your hips back toward your heels by hinging at the hips.

  4. 4

    Stop when you reach a comfortable range, then squeeze your glutes to drive your hips forward back to tall kneeling.

  5. 5

    Keep your torso upright throughout and repeat.
