Skier

The Skier is a squat variation that will build strength in the knee ligaments and tendons as the athlete uses them at greater ranges of motion.

Begin standing with your feet together and knees straight.
Bend your knees and simultaneously twist your hips to the right.
Keep your knees and inner thighs touching as you push your hips out to the right.
As you squat deeper, allow your knees to drift left.
Squat and twist as low as you comfortably can.
Your thighs should be angled sideways at the bottom of the squat.
Stand back up, switch sides, and continue to alternate for reps.
