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. Allow your knees to bend naturally until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
3. Push strongly through the center of your feet to rise.
4. As your buttocks rise, straighten your knees and hips in sequence, returning to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while going up.
Precautions

2. Keep your chest up and engage your core to avoid bending your waist.
3. Do not excessively bend your waist while trying to keep it straight.
4. Please do not stick your hips too far back.
5. Make sure your feet do not lift off the ground.
6. When standing up, please ensure your knees do not come together.
