How to do standing squat:
1 Preparation:
-Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
-Keep your back straight and shoulders relaxed. Maintain a forward gaze.
2 Descent:
-Initiate the movement by bending your knees and hips simultaneously, as if you’re sitting down on an imaginary chair.
-Keep your heels grounded and ensure that your knees don’t move forward beyond your feet.
3 Depth and Posture:
-Lower yourself to a comfortable depth while maintaining proper form. Ideally, your thighs should be parallel to the ground or slightly below this position.
-Keep your back straight and your chest up. Avoid letting your shoulders hunch forward.
4 Ascent:
-Push through your heels and extend your hips and knees simultaneously to return to the starting position.
