How to do Front Box Squat:

• Step 1: Perform this exercise inside a squat rack for safety reasons. Set the bar on a rack corresponds to your height. Bring your arms up under the bar; keep your arms up under the bar and your upper arm slightly above parallel to the floor. Set up a box at a height you can squat to behind you.
• Step 2: Begin by pushing with your legs and straightening your chest to lift the bar.
• Step 3: Step back from the rack until you are just over the box, and place your legs shoulder width apart with your toes slightly pointed out. Keep your back straight and brace your core. This is the starting position for the exercise.
• Step 4: Lower your body under control until your butt touches the box. Inhale while lowering the weight. Do not put all of your weight on the box - it is just there for reference, not rest.
• Step 5: Raise your body back up by pushing the middle of your foot against the floor. Exhale as you push back up to the starting position.
• Step 6: Repeat the steps as required for your workout.
