How to use it

Use

To use the Squat apparatus, face the machine and insert your head between the two rollers, placing them on your shoulders. Keep your back straight and your legs slightly apart. Slowly lower yourself into the squat position, ensuring that your knees don't extend beyond your toes. Then straighten up to full knee extension and push your hips slightly forward. Slowly return to the squat position and repeat several times. Be sure to maintain a constant contraction of the glutes to optimize results.
