Strength Exercise - 7. The Squat - Progression B: Bodyweight Squat

Purpose
The Squat challenges foot and ankle stability while integrating full lower-body strength. Using the Axis Pro during squatting reinforces controlled loading through the foot, ankle, knee, and hip while maintaining balance and alignment.

How to Perform
Stand upright with the affected foot on the Axis Pro and the opposite foot on the ground. Without using external support, sit back into a squat while maintaining control of the board. Keep the chest lifted and weight evenly distributed through both feet.

Lower under control, then return to standing while keeping the board stable throughout the movement.

Coaching Cues

  • Control depth and tempo

  • Avoid shifting weight excessively to one side

  • Maintain balance through the entire movement
