How to do Slow Negative Floor Tap Squat
Start in a standing position with feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly out. Hold hands together, pointing downward. Engage your core and initiate a slow, controlled squat. As you descend, maintain a straight back and keep knees in line with toes. Lower until fingertips lightly touch the floor, then rise back to starting position.
Common mistakes
Allowing knees to cave inward. Not maintaining a slow, controlled descent. Not reaching the floor with fingertips.
Breathing
Inhale deeply as you lower down slowly. Exhale as you stand back up, pushing through the heels.
