Instructions

1. Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart and turn your toes out slightly.

2. Engage your core and keep your spine neutral throughout the movement.

3. Lower your body by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if sitting down into a squat. Keep your knees aligned with your toes.

4. Continue squatting down until your thighs are parallel to the floor, or as low as you can go without compromising form.

5. Hold this position for a moment. If you're performing an isometric horse stance squat, hold for a designated time interval, keeping your muscles engaged.

6. Push through your heels to rise back up to the starting position, fully extending your hips and knees.

7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions or sets.
