4. Keep your chest up and your back straight.
Proper Form
1. Tighten your abdomen and keep your waist straight, then bend at the hip joint to lower your hips down.
2. Allow your knees to bend naturally until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
3. Push strongly through the center of your feet to rise up.
4. As your hips rise, straighten your knees and hip joints in sequence, returning to the starting position.

Inhale while going down, and exhale while going up.
Precautions
