How to do Bodyweight Box Squat
- Set a sturdy bench or box behind you and stand in front of it with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Cross your arms in front of your chest or hold them straight out for balance.
- Sit your hips back as if reaching for the box, keeping your chest tall and your weight in your heels.
- Lower under control until your glutes touch the box softly — do not crash down onto it.
- Pause briefly on the box without losing core or leg tension, staying ready to drive back up.
- Push through the floor with both feet to stand back up tall, squeezing your glutes at the top.
