Instructions
Proper Position
- Place your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, with your toes pointing slightly outward.
- Keep your back straight and your heels on the ground.
- Slowly bend your knees to lower yourself into a deep squat position (hips below knee level).
Movement
- Lower yourself slowly until your hips are as close to the ground as possible while keeping your back straight and your heels in contact with the floor.
- Keep your knees open to prevent them from collapsing inward.
- Hold this position for several seconds or as long as comfortable.
- To return, push through your heels and slowly straighten your legs.
Breathing
- Inhale as you lower into the squat.
- Exhale as you hold the position or rise back up.
Tips
- Keep your weight on your heels for stability.
- Engage your core to protect your back.
- If you lack flexibility, start by holding the position for shorter periods and gradually increase the duration.
