Description

A full body workout that targets quads, hamstrings, glutes, and core. The user squats down as if sitting on a chair, then returns to standing position.

How to Do Potty Squat

1
Setup
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward. Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and core engaged throughout.
2
Setup
Extend your arms straight forward at shoulder height for balance, or place your hands on your hips.
3
Initiate the movement by pushing your hips back and bending your knees, as if sitting on a very low toilet or chair behind you. Descend until your thighs are parallel to the floor or as deep as your mobility allows without rounding your lower back.
4
Maintain an upright torso and keep your knees tracking directly over your toes during the descent. Inhale as you lower down.
5
Exhale as you push through your heels and mid-foot to return to the starting standing position, squeezing your glutes at the top.

Tips

Focus on maintaining a strong, braced core throughout the entire movement, as if preparing for a punch, to protect your spine and enhance stability.
Ensure your knees track in line with your toes and do not collapse inward to protect your knee joints; actively push them outward slightly if needed.
To increase core engagement, try to actively "pull" yourself down into the squat using your hip flexors and abdominals, rather than just passively descending.
Visualize sitting *between* your heels, not just straight down, to encourage proper hip hinge mechanics and deeper glute activation.

Common Mistakes

×Rounding the lower back: Avoid rounding your lower back at the bottom of the squat by maintaining a neutral spine and only going as deep as your mobility allows.
×Knees caving inward: Prevent your knees from collapsing inward by actively pushing them out, ensuring they track directly over your mid-foot.
×Not going deep enough: Maximize muscle activation by descending until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor, provided you can maintain good form and a neutral spine.
