How to Wide Squat

Starting Position

1. Spread your legs a step wider than shoulder width, and point your toes out at about 40 to 50 degrees.

2. Keep your chest up and your back straight.

Proper Form

1. Tighten your abdomen and keep your waist straight, then bend at the hip to lower your buttocks 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.

4. As your buttocks rise, straighten your knees and hips in sequence, returning to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while going up.

Precautions

1. Please be careful not to lean your upper body too far forward.

2. Keep your chest up and engage your core to avoid bending your waist.

3. Do not excessively bend your waist while trying to keep it straight.

4. Please do not stick your hips too far back.

5. Make sure your feet do not lift off the ground.

6. When standing up, please ensure your knees do not come together.
