Begin the squat by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if you are about to sit on a chair, keeping your chest upright and your back straight.
Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the floor, or as low as you can comfortably go, ensuring your knees do not go past your toes.
Pause for a moment at the bottom of the squat, maintaining your balance and keeping your body tight.
Push through your heels to return to the starting position, straightening your legs and hips until you are standing upright again.
