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.
