Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Curtsey Squat.
A lower-body exercise where you step one leg diagonally behind the other in a curtsy motion before squatting down. This unique movement pattern places extra emphasis on the glutes and inner thighs while also challenging balance and hip stability.
The Curtsey Squat is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
