Techniques
  1. Stand with feet hip width apart and the ball out in front of you
  2. Slowly lower yourself as if you were sitting on a seat
  3. Ideally lower yourself until the top of your thighs are parallel to the floor, if you can't go that low, go as far as possible and over time keep going slightly lower
  4. Now slowly return to your starting position
  5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 until you can no longer maintain correct technique
Tips
  • DON'T lean forward as you go down into the squat
  • Keep your back as upright as possible at all times
  • Be careful not to let your knees go beyond your toes
