Frog Squat
Equipment
Start the exercise by bending your knees and hips, lowering your body as deep as you can into a squat position, while keeping your chest upright.
As you squat down, push your knees out and try to touch your elbows to your knees, mimicking a frog's position.
Push through your heels to return to the starting position, straightening your legs and hips.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
**Depth of Squat**: Aim for a deep squat where your hips go lower than your knees, but only as far as is comfortable and safe for you. Not squatting deep enough can limit the effectiveness of the exercise, but overdoing it can risk injury. **Engage Your Core**: Remember to engage your core throughout the exercise. This aids in maintaining balance and stability, and also protects your lower back. A common mistake is forgetting to engage the core, which can lead to back strain or injury. **Breathing Technique**: Breathe in as you lower your body, and breathe out as you push up
