A lower body exercise that targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and inner thighs. By performing this squat variation on a stepbox, you increase the range of motion and engage stabilizing muscles for improved balance and strength.
Position a stepbox securely on the floor.
Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart on the stepbox, toes pointing slightly outward.
Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and core engaged.
Lower your body by bending at the hips and knees, keeping your back straight.
Descend until your thighs are parallel to the floor or slightly below.
Push through your heels to return to the starting position.
Ensure the stepbox is stable before starting the exercise.
Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement to prevent injury.
Engage your core to help stabilize your body during the squat.
Focus on pushing through your heels to activate the glutes effectively.
Keep your knees aligned with your toes to avoid unnecessary strain.
