squat exercise

A squat is a fundamental exercise that targets your leg and glute muscles. To perform a squat, stand with feet shoulder-width apart, keep your chest up, and bend your knees and hips as if sitting back into a chair. Lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the ground, then press through your heels to stand back up. This movement improves lower body strength, stability, and mobility while engaging core muscles for support. Proper form is important to prevent injury and maximize benefits.
