Belt Squat

How to do it

1. Fasten the belt around your hips so it sits on the bony shelf at the top of your pelvis, not around your waist.

2. Clip the belt to the loading arm or chain, then stand up to lift the weight off its support.

3. Set your feet about shoulder width apart on the platform with your toes turned out slightly.

4. Rest your hands on the handrails for balance. They stop you drifting sideways and are not there to pull on.

5. Sit down and back with your chest tall until your thighs are roughly parallel to the platform.

6. Drive through your whole foot to stand back up.

7. After your last rep, lower the weight back onto its support before you unclip the belt.
