Squat

Starting Position

• your feet are a bit wider apart than shoulder width
• the feet are rotated outwards 20 to 30 degrees
• important: knees and tiptoes point into the same direction
• hold your arms horizontally in front of your body
• your upper body is bent forwards a tiny bit

Correct Execution

• brace your body and hold your back straight
• tilt your knees slowly until the thighs are parallel to the ground (your bottom moves backwards)
• if possible, your knees stay behind your tiptoes
• bring your body back into the starting position by putting pressure on the heels
• raise the number of repetitions to feel the desired effect in your legs

tip for the workout

• put on a filled backpack to make this leg exercise more difficult
