SQUAT

Stand with feet hip- to shoulderwidth apart, toes forward or slightly outward. Slowly flex at the hips and knees, and lower body until your thighs are parallel with floor (or as far as your joints allow). Keep your back neutral, or slightly arch lower back. (Do not round shoulders or lean forward – you should be able to lift your toes.) Next, push through entire foot to return to standing. Repeat.

FEELING STRONG? Squat further down as you become stronger and more flexible.
