Prisoner Squats

I've only recently learned about Prisoner Squats thanks to that bootcamp class I participated

in last month, and I am now a big fan!

Because I'm new to it, I decided to let Men's Health tell you how it's done!

• Stand as tall as you can with your feet spread shoulder-width apart.
• Place your fingers on the back of your head (as if you had just been arrested).
• Pull your elbows and shoulders back.
• Your lower back should be naturally arched.
• Brace your core and hold it that way.
• Lower your body as far as you can by pushing your hips back and bending your knees. The tops of your thighs should be parallel to the floor.
• Pause, then slowly push yourself back to the starting position.
• Keep your weight on your heels, not your toes, for the entire movement. Your knees should stay over the centers of your feet as you squat.
• Your torso should stay as upright as possible. Don’t let your lower back round.

ENJOY!
