A Proper Squat

Jan. 6

1. Stand with feet a little wider than hip width, toes facing front.

2. Drive your hips back—bending at the knees and ankles and pressing your knees slightly open—as you…

3. Sit into a squat position while still keeping your heels and toes on the ground, chest up and shoulders back.

4. Strive to eventually reach parallel, meaning knees are bent to a 90-degree angle.

5. Press into your heels and straighten legs to return to a standing upright position.
