How to do it
The sissy squat targets the quads by leaning the body backward while the knees move forward.
Standing, feet hip-width apart, hold onto a support with one hand.
Rise onto your toes and push your knees forward while leaning your body backward, in a straight line from knees to shoulders, then push back up.
Your hips remain extended: the body forms a line from knees to head. Start with a small range of motion.
