It can activate muscles in many areas such as thighs and cores. It's a good workout to straighten your forms before doing other squats!
How to Squat
Starting Position
1. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and your toes turned out at a 20-30 degree angle.
2. Keep your chest up and your back straight.
Proper Form
1. Tighten your abdomen and keep your waist straight, then bend at the hip to lower your buttocks down.
2. Naturally bend your knees and lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
3. Push strongly through the center of your feet to rise up.
4. As your buttocks rise, straighten your knees and hips in sequence, and return to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while going up.
Precautions
1. Please be careful not to lean your upper body too far forward.
2. Keep your chest up and engage your core to avoid bending your waist.
3. Don't excessively bend your waist while trying to keep it straight.
4. Please do not stick your hips too far back.
