How to do it
- Stand on a slackline with feet hip-width apart, arms out for balance.
- Engage your core and keep your back straight.
- Slowly bend your knees to lower into a squat, keeping weight on your heels.
- Descend until thighs are parallel to the ground, maintaining balance.
- Push through heels to return to standing, keeping movements controlled.
