squat hold

Lowered stationary position

A squat hold is an exercise position where you lower into a squat and maintain it without moving, building strength and endurance in the legs and core.

The hold typically lasts from thirty seconds to several minutes: My trainer had me do a two-minute squat hold at the end of the workout.
