Sitting Squat Challenge: The Exton twins
Today our Fad Free Fitness zone was open for business and we were joined by fitness champs, the Exton twins - so naturally we got them to take our challenge!
Think you can do better? Tweet or Instagram us a picture or video of you doing your Sitting Squad Challenge including your time - or email it to us at gmb@itvcom.
Stand with your feet approximately shoulder width apart and beside a solid wall/structure
Lower yourself down the wall until your thighs are parallel to the floor or create a 90 degree angle from your ankle/knee/hip joint
Keep your knees in-line with your ankles as much as possible and try not to let them move beyond level with your toes
Ensure you keep your chest and head up to protect your spine. Try not to look down or bend forward
Keep your bum/back/shoulders/head flat against the wall at all times
Try not to brace yourself against your legs and allow your arms to drop naturally to your side
Maintain your breathing throughout and remain as still as possible at the lowest point
