Instructions

Setup

  • Begin by standing with your feet set significantly wider than shoulder-width apart.

  • Point your toes outward at approximately a 45-degree angle to comfortably accommodate the wide stance.

Execution

  • Lower your hips by bending at the knees and hips, ensuring your weight remains evenly distributed between both feet.

  • Descend until your thighs are roughly parallel to the floor or to a depth that feels challenging yet controlled.

  • Ensure your knees track in line with your toes throughout the movement, preventing them from caving inward.

  • Maintain an upright torso with a braced core and neutral spine.

  • Hold the bottom position of the squat, maintaining constant tension in the quadriceps and glutes for the desired duration or repetition goal.
