How to Do Bodyweight Squat

Form Cues

1. 1

   Feet shoulder width, toes slightly out, squat to parallel keeping chest up

2. 2

   Knees over toes

3. 3

   Reach your arms forward as you descend to help counterbalance and keep your torso upright

4. 4

   Drive through the whole foot to stand, especially the heels

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Heels rising — work on ankle mobility or use heel elevation until flexibility improves

• ●

  Knees caving inward — actively push them out in line with your toes

• ●

  Cutting depth short — aim for parallel or below rather than a shallow quarter squat
