3. Cross your arms in front of you or place your hands behind your head to help maintain balance.
4. Slowly bend your knees and lower your body down as if you are sitting back into an invisible chair. Ensure your knees stay aligned with your toes and do not extend past them.
5. Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the ground, keeping your weight on your heels and your core engaged.
6. Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement.

Ensure to perform the movement with control throughout the exercise, and avoid locking your knees when coming back to the starting position. Adjust the depth of the squat to your mobility and comfort levels, being cautious to maintain proper form to prevent injury.
