Sitting Squat Challenge: Bakwate the gorilla
We had a wild intruder in the studio today, when Bakwate the gorilla wasn't monkeying around with our studio equipment, he took part in our Sitting Squat Challenge. They say gorilla's are six times stronger than adults, so surely this challenge should have been easy for him.

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
