Techniques
  1. Stand with feet hip width apart, hands by your side
  2. Slowly lower yourself as if you were sitting on a seat
  3. Ideally lower yourself until the top of your thighs are parallel to the floor, if you can't go that low, go as far as possible and over time keep going slightly lower
  4. Now slowly return to the starting position
  5. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 until you can no longer maintain the correct technique
Tips
  • DONT lean forward as you go down into the squat, try to keep your back as upright as possible at all times
  • Be careful not to let your knees go beyond your toes
  • To protect your back it is very important to use correct technique
