How to do it
- Set a box behind you at about knee height.
- Stand with feet shoulder-width, chest tall.
- Sit back until you lightly touch the box.
- Drive through your heels to stand without bouncing.
Beginner tips
- Touch the box, don't crash onto it.
- Keep your shins fairly vertical as you sit back.
- Knees track over your toes.
Keep in mind: The box teaches consistent depth, start light.
