If you’ve ever been confused about the “right” way to squat, struggle with getting low, or feel most of the work in your knees, this is for you. Develop the confidence to squat well, play with your kids, pet your dog, and generally move with more ease.

How to do a bodyweight squat

1. Find a stance that allows your knees and toes to face the same direction when you lower. If you experience pain, stop.

2. Use your core to "pull" you down into the bottom position.

3. Hold onto something in front of you (door knob, pole, etc.), or elevate your heels to deepen your squat.
