1. Starting Position:
- Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Squatting Down:
- Slowly bend your knees and lower your body into a squat position. Ensure your back is straight and core is engaged.
3. Knees Positioning:
- As you squat, push your knees outward gently. This will help to open up your hips. Aim to keep your knees in line with your toes.
4. Hand Position:
- You can place your hands together in front of your chest in a prayer position or hold onto your feet for support.
5. Hold the Position:
- Maintain this squat position for 15-30 seconds, breathing deeply and relaxing into the stretch.
6. Returning to Standing:
- To exit the squat, push through your heels and slowly rise back to the starting position.
7. Repetition:
- Repeat the exercise 3-5 times, allowing a few seconds between each squat.
Tips:
- Keep your weight distributed evenly on your feet.
- Pay attention to your form to prevent strain on your knees and back.
