To perform a squat with the correct form, follow these steps:

Stand Tall: Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart. Your toes can point slightly outward, around 15-30 degrees.

Engage Your Core: Tighten your abdominal muscles to support your spine throughout the movement.

Initiate the Movement: Start the squat by pushing your hips back as if you are going to sit in a chair. Keep your chest up and your back straight.

Bend Your Knees: As you lower your body, bend your knees while keeping them in line with your toes. Avoid letting your knees cave inward.

Lower Your Body: Continue to lower yourself until your thighs are at least parallel to the ground. If you can go lower without compromising form, that’s fine, but ensure your back remains straight.

Keep Your Heels Down: Make sure your heels stay flat on the ground throughout the movement. If you find your heels lifting, you may need to adjust your stance or work on your ankle flexibility.
