Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointed out.

Engage core, keep chest up and back straight.

Initiate the squat by pushing hips back and bending knees, as if sitting in a chair.

Lower until thighs are parallel to the ground or as low as comfortable, keeping weight in heels.

Ensure knees track over toes.

Push through heels to return to the starting position.

Repeat for desired repetitions.
