MW Squat Mobility is one of the fundamental exercises of MWTS. This exercise is optimal as preparation to bodyweight squat exercise. The main aim of SM is to prepare a correct squat-posture by stretching adductors muscles and conditioning quads and glutes for an efficient control of the position. MW-SM is the right choice if you want to start your warm-up from standing position.
