1 of 4
Hands in front of your chest
Starting position
Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, toes slightly outward and hands in front of your chest.
The movement
Lower slowly into a squat, pause briefly at the bottom and rise with control to straight legs.
Most common mistake
Don't rush the lowering phase, keep a steady tempo and let your knees track in line with your toes.
