Squat thrust
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A squat thrust is a calisthenic exercise. It typically is performed as follows:
- From a standing "parade rest" position, drop to a squat position with your hands on the ground near your feet.
- Throw the feet back, putting yourself into a push up position.
- Again pull the feet forward to a squat position with hands on the floor.
- Stand again in a parade rest position.
- 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.
