OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

Get Started with The Better Squat Trainer
1. Adjust the position of the seat so that when you straddle
the swingarm, with your feet on the footplates, your butt
rests on the seat.
2. When you've found the correct seat position, straddle the
seat, and align your hips and torso with the swingarm.
3. Reach forward with arms extended to grab the handlebar
with a light grip.
4. Place your feet on the footplates and keep your weight
toward your heels.
5. With your core engaged and your shoulders pulled back
down, engage your glutes and keep your knees over the
middle of your feet.
6. To descend into a squat, keep your grip on the handlebar,
push your hips back like you're sitting in a chair, and bend
at the knees. Lower down to a comfortable squat depth
and slowly progress to deeper squats only as you gain
strength and confidence.
7. To come back up, keep your core and glutes engaged,
then press down through your feet with most of the weight
on your heels.
8. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the squat.
You should not feel strain or pain in your back or knees
during this exercise. If you feel strain in your knees or
back, ensure you are using proper form as recommended
and consider a shorter range of motion. If strain or pain
persists, cease use and consult with your doctor before
continuing use.
