How to do the Bodyweight Squat

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands extended in front of you for balance.
  2. Lower your body into a squat position until your thighs are parallel to the floor, keeping your back straight.
  3. Stand back up to the starting position.
  4. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Keep your feet flat on the floor to maintain balance and stability.
  • Ensure your knees are aligned with your toes during the squat to prevent strain on your knees.
  • Perform the movement slowly and with control to maximize muscle activation and prevent injury.
