Squat thrust

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A squat thrust is a calisthenic exercise. It typically is performed as follows:

  1. From a standing "parade rest" position, drop to a squat position with your hands on the ground near your feet.
  2. Throw the feet back, putting yourself into a push up position.
  3. Again pull the feet forward to a squat position with hands on the floor.
  4. Stand again in a parade rest position.
  5. Repeat many times.

Performing the exercise at a fast speed maximizes its effectiveness.

The exercise is one of the gym tests in the Superstars television show.
