Muscles Worked

Equipment Needed

How To Perform the Sissy Squat

  1. Start by standing upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and your body facing forward.
  2. Place your hands on your hips for balance or hold onto a stable surface like a squat rack or parallel bars.
  3. Engage your core and begin to bend your knees while leaning backward, keeping your hips extended.
  4. Lower your body by bending at the knees and pushing them forward while your heels stay elevated.
  5. Continue to lean back until your knees are fully bent and your body forms a straight line from your knees to your shoulders.
  6. Push through the balls of your feet to return to the starting position, maintaining a controlled motion throughout the movement.
  7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
  8. Breathing: Inhale as you lower your body and exhale as you return to the starting position.
