The base pattern for every leg exercise. Learn it well and everything else gets easier.
How to do it
Setup. Feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly out, arms in front for balance.
- Sit your hips back and down as if onto a low chair.
- Go as deep as you can with your heels down and chest up.
- Stand up by pushing through your whole foot.
Most common mistake
Knees caving in. Push them out over your toes.
Coach's tip
Squat to a chair or bench at first so you know how low to go.
