  4. Keep your weight on your heels and ensure your knees track over your toes.
  5. Lower until your thighs are parallel to the ground or as far as comfortable.
  6. Push through your heels to return to the starting position.

Pro Tips for Bodyweight Squat

  • Keep your chest up and back straight to avoid rounding your spine.
  • Ensure your knees do not collapse inward; they should track over your toes.
  • Go as low as your flexibility allows, aiming for thighs parallel to the ground.
  • Use a mirror or record yourself to check for proper form.
  • For added difficulty, perform slower repetitions or pause at the bottom of the squat.
