Exercise Description

The deep squat builds lower body strength and improves hip mobility. It targets your quads while strengthening your glutes and improving ankle flexibility.

How To

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out 2. Lower into a deep squat by pushing your hips back and bending your knees 3. Go as low as you can while keeping your chest up and heels on the ground 4. Hold the deep squat position for 10-30 seconds, breathing normally 5. Push through your heels to stand back up to the starting position

Form Tips

• Keep your chest up and core tight throughout the deep squat movement • Let your knees track over your toes, don't let them cave inward • Keep your heels planted on the ground during the entire deep squat • Start with shorter holds and build up your time in the bottom position

Common Mistakes

• Rising up on your toes instead of keeping heels down in the deep squat • Letting your knees collapse inward rather than tracking over your toes • Rounding your back and letting your chest drop during the deep squat hold
