1. Starting Position: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward. Keep your arms bent at the elbows, with your hands close to your chest.
Movement
1. Squat Down: Begin by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if sitting in a chair. Keep your chest up and back straight. Lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the ground or as low as comfortable. 2. Press Up: As you stand back up from the squat, extend your arms overhead. Make sure to engage your core and maintain balance. 3. Repeat: Perform the squat and press movement for 10 to 15 repetitions.
Tips
- Keep your weight on your heels while squatting. - Ensure your knees do not go past your toes. - Engage your core muscles throughout the movement. - Breathe in while squatting down and breathe out as you press up.
