SQUAT: HEELS UP—KNEES TOGETHER—ARMS BELOW HEAD

/

Squat Heels Up Knees Together Arms Below Head is a challenging functional squat variation that emphasizes forefoot balance, inner thigh engagement, and full-body coordination. By lifting the heels, drawing the knees together, and positioning the arms below the head, the posture increases instability and muscular demand, making it effective for improving ankle strength, knee control, core stability, and overall neuromuscular coordination.
