Hints

Begin standing with feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outwards. Place hands together in front of your chest area. Initiate the squat by pushing hips back and bending knees. Descend until thighs are parallel to the ground or to your personal depth. Press through heels to return to the starting position.

Common Mistakes

Letting the knees cave inward. Lifting the heels off the ground. Rounding the back or leaning excessively forward.
