Bodyweight Squat
Squat with the arms out in front as a counterweight; depth and control matter more than count.
How to do it
Setup
Feet shoulder-width, toes slightly out, arms free or forward for balance.
Steps
- Squat as deep as the heels allow.
- Chest tall, knees over the toes.
- Stand fully, hips through at the top.
Common mistakes
Heels lifting: sit back more or elevate them slightly while mobility grows. Knees caving: push them out. Speed-bouncing at the bottom: control the turn.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
