Squat thrusts are most effective when performed at a fast pace.

Movement 1: From a standing position, squat down and touch your hands to the floor.

Movement 2: Kick your legs backward so that they are fully extended. Once your legs are extended, you should be in the push-up position with your arms completely straight.

Movement 3: Quickly bring your knees up to your chest and assume the squat position.

Movement 4: Stand up. Repeat the exercise several times.
