How to Do a Frog Squat

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart with your hands facing each other and lower into a squat comfortably into the floor pressing elbows into the inside knees to make it easier squat with knees bent 90 degree or lower to make it harder go below 90 degree.Raise hips so that legs are fully extended bending forward at the waist so the elbows stay glued to the knees and upper body remains in a tucked position.Return to low squat and do a minimum of 20 reps.

Frog Squats Targets

  • Butt
  • Legs


To add variation try doing it with Resistance band over your shoulder or holding a dumbbell and this low deep version of the squat targets the adductor inner thigh alongside the gluteal muscles, hips, quadriceps and hamstrings.

Key Benefits Of Frog Squats In Exercising

Focuses on Front Thighs and Buttocks

This squat is all about working your front thigh muscles and buttocks harder than in normal squats. You do this by staying in a low squat and moving your hips and bum up and down.


Keeps Muscles Working Longer

Because you’re not standing up between reps, your thigh muscles work hard the whole time. This is good for building stronger muscles.


Improves Flexibility and Movement

Doing frog squats can help make your lower body more flexible and easy to move, especially around your hips and ankles.


Helps Burn Calories

Since this squat keeps your muscles working a lot, you end up burning more calories. This can help if you’re trying to lose weight or get fit.


Good for Your Posture and Balance

Regularly doing this exercise can help you stand taller and keep your balance better, thanks to stronger muscles in your lower body.


Easy to Add to Your Routine

You can do frog squats as part of any workout. They’re good for doing lots of reps at a time or in short bursts.


No Special Kit Needed

You can do these squats anywhere without needing any equipment. They’re great for a quick home workout.
