Squat Thrust

Set-up

• Stand with your feet hip-width apart.

How to do it

1. Squat down and place your hands flat on the floor in front of your feet.
2. Jump both feet back into a straight-arm plank.
3. Jump your feet back in towards your hands, then stand up.

Coaching cues

• Hold a solid plank for a moment before jumping back in.
• Keep your hands planted under your shoulders.

Common mistakes

• Letting the hips sag in the plank position.
• Landing with the feet so far back that your lower back arches.

Safety

• Step the feet back and in one at a time to make it easier on the joints.
