High Knee Squat
Equipment
Begin to lower your body into a squat position, bending at the knees and pushing your hips back as if you're sitting on a chair, while simultaneously raising one knee towards your chest.
As you reach the lowest point of your squat, your thigh should be parallel to the ground and the knee of your raised leg should be close to your chest.
Push through your heels to rise back up to the starting position, lowering your raised knee back to the ground.
Repeat the exercise by switching legs, raising the other knee as you lower into your next squat.
