Squat thrust

A squat thrust is a calisthenic exercise. Similar to a Burpee it typically is performed as follows:

  1. From a standing 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.
  5. Repeat many times.

Performing the exercise at a fast speed maximizes its effectiveness.
