Modified Pop Squat
The pop squat is an excellent exercise for improving strength, endurance, and balance. While the normal pop squat involves hopping at the end of the squat, we exchange the hop with a toe lift to decrease the intensity.

Step 1: Stand in an area that allows freedom of movement, with feet shoulder-width apart.
Step 2: Slowly bend your hips and knees and move into a squat while keeping your spine straight until you reach 90 degrees of hip and knee flexion.
Step 3: In one smooth movement, push back up into standing and continue the movement onto your tiptoes. You can bring your arms down to your sides as you stand for added movement.
Step 4: Move back into the squatting position and repeat.
Step 5: This counts as one repetition. Try to perform three sets of 15 repetitions, modifying as needed.

The pop squat is traditionally a high-intensity movement, but removing the "hop" at the top of the movement and replacing it with a quick toe stand brings the intensity down a notch.
