Standing Squat

 

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and with your arms out to your side to assist in balance or folded across your chest to make the exercise harder throughout the movement.
 
Smoothly lower your buttocks downwards, to a position whereby your thighs are parallel to the floor, keeping your back straight.
 
Concentrate on keeping your back straight and head up, focusing on preventing your knees from extending over your toes.
 
Exhale as you return back up from your lowered position, keeping your feet firmly on the floor throughout the exercise.
 
Stretch and Warm Up before you commence any exercise and aim to finish with some good stretching to let your body and mind recover.
