Exercise Description

Sumo squats target your quads and glutes with a wider stance that hits your inner thighs harder than regular squats. Perfect for building lower body strength and power.

How To

1. Stand with feet wider than shoulder-width, toes pointed out at 45 degrees 2. Keep your chest up and core tight as you begin the sumo squat movement 3. Lower down by pushing your hips back and bending your knees, keeping knees in line with toes 4. Descend until your thighs are parallel to the floor in the bottom sumo squat position 5. Drive through your heels to stand back up, squeezing your glutes at the top

Form Tips

• Keep your knees tracking over your toes throughout the entire sumo squat movement • Don't let your chest cave forward - stay upright with a proud chest • Push your knees out wide to activate your glutes and inner thighs properly • Focus on sitting back into your hips rather than just bending your knees during sumo squats

Common Mistakes

• Letting knees cave inward instead of tracking over toes during the sumo squat • Standing too narrow - your stance needs to be significantly wider than regular squats • Leaning too far forward and losing that upright torso position in sumo squats
