Um, ideally we're using a tower mat where we have a nice bar and a strap, a barge, really gonna add some, uh, umph to this leg workout today. Um, but you can also do it without, but let's go ahead and get started. This is but one arm over the other. Shift your weight back and forth to see if it's more on the ball of your foot or on the heel. And I want you to have it just in the middle of the foot.

Cross one foot over the other. Draw your powerhouse in and up. Good. And try not to sway your back too much as you go down. And I'm going to hold onto you to help give you a little opposition as you scoop in and, and, and lower yourself down. Wonderful. Put your hands midway back. Good.
