Coach's Tips

-

Start Position

1. Begin standing tall, with your feet slightly more than shoulder-width apart.

2. Extend your arms straight out in front of you, keeping them that way during the exercise.

3. Gradually lower your body into a deep squat by bending your knees and moving your hips backward.

Proper Form

1. Initiate the movement by stepping off with your right foot, extending your right leg forward.

2. As your right leg extends, gradually transfer your weight onto it.

3. Keep your left leg bent, ensuring your left foot remains firmly on the ground.

4. Lower your body until your right thigh aligns parallel to the floor.

5. Maintain this stance briefly, then push with your right foot to return to the starting position.

6. Perform the same action on the left side.

Breathing Technique

1. Inhale deeply as you descend into the squat.

2. Exhale when returning to the initial position.

Precautions

1. Ensure your back stays straight during the workout.

2. Avoid letting your knee extend past your toes as you squat.

3. Keep your feet rooted firmly on the ground throughout.

4. Avoid over-exerting yourself too quickly. Begin with a few repetitions and increase as your fitness improves.
