Bodyweight Squat

A fundamental lower-body exercise involving squatting down with just your body weight.

Instructions

• Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
• Lower your body as if sitting back into a chair, keeping weight on your heels.
• Maintain a straight back and engage core.
• Lower until thighs are parallel to the ground, then rise back up.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Letting knees cave inward during the squat.
• Not squatting deep enough, i.e., thighs are not parallel.
• Lifting heels off the ground.
