Slowly lower your body by bending at the knees and hips, as if you're sitting down on an invisible chair, keeping your chest up and your back straight.
Continue lowering until your thighs are parallel to the ground or as low as your flexibility allows, ensuring your knees do not go past your toes.
Hold this position for a few seconds, focusing on maintaining a straight back and keeping your knees aligned with your feet.
Push through your heels to return to the standing position, ensuring your movements are controlled and not too fast to maintain balance. Repeat the exercise as necessary.
Pro Tip
Maintain Proper Form: One of the common mistakes people make is not maintaining the correct form. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, your back straight, and your heels flat on the ground. As you squat, your thighs should be parallel to the ground, and your knees should not extend beyond your toes. Control Your Movement: Another mistake to avoid is rushing the exercise. The key to a successful squat is controlling your movement as you lower and raise your body. This helps to engage the correct muscles and reduces the risk of injury. Breathe Correctly: Breathing is an often overlooked aspect of squatting. Inhale as you lower your body and exhale as you push yourself back up
