Instructions

1. Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward.

2. Extend your arms out in front of you for balance if needed.

3. Keeping your back straight and chest up, lower your body by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if you're sitting back into a chair.

4. Squat down until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor or until you can tap the floor with your fingertips, all while keeping your heels flat on the ground.

5. Press through your heels to straighten your legs and return to the starting position while keeping your core engaged.

6. As you rise, focus on squeezing your glutes.

7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Ensure to keep the knees tracking over the toes and avoid letting them collapse inward. Keep the movement controlled and use your breath to help with movement; inhale going down and exhale pushing back up.
