Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

    • Your toes should be pointed slightly outward.

    • Keep your hands together in front of your chest or clasped lightly at your heart.

  2. Squatting Movement:

    • Begin the movement by bending at the knees and pushing your hips back, as if you are sitting into a chair.

    • Keep your chest lifted and back straight. Make sure your knees are tracking in line with your toes.

    • Lower your body until your thighs are at least parallel to the ground, or go deeper if you can while maintaining good form.

  3. End Position:

    • At the bottom of the squat, your elbows can gently press against the inside of your knees to help push them outwards, allowing for a deeper squat.

    • Hold this position for a moment, engaging your core and keeping your balance.

  4. Returning to Start:

    • Push through your heels to return to the starting position, straightening your legs and bringing your chest back up.

    • Make sure to keep the movement controlled and avoid locking your knees at the top.

  5. Repetitions:

    • Aim for 10-15 repetitions, taking breaks as needed. Focus on maintaining proper form throughout.

  6. Tips:

    • If you feel discomfort in your knees, try adjusting your foot position or the depth of your squat.

    • Always ensure your back remains straight and avoid rounding your shoulders.
