Squat Tip Toe

The Squat Tip Toe is a dynamic exercise that targets your lower body while improving balance and coordination.

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Lower into a squat position, keeping your chest up and back straight.
  3. As you rise, lift your heels off the ground, balancing on your toes.
  4. Hold the tiptoe position for a moment before returning to the squat.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Squat Tip Toe

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Squat Tip Toe using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your glutes.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your glutes rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
