Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Bend your knees and push your hips back as if you are about to sit on an imaginary chair, lowering yourself down until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
3. Keep your back straight, chest lifted, and knees tracking over your toes.
4. Extend your arms out in front of you for balance or cross them over your chest.
5. Hold this position, keeping your muscles engaged and your core tight for the desired amount of time.
6. Keep your weight primarily in your heels and ensure your knees do not push out ahead of your toes.
7. After holding, straighten your legs to return to the starting position and either rest before the next set or if doing single sets, repeat for additional sets after a short break.
Remember to breathe continuously throughout the exercise and adjust the duration to match your fitness level.
