Bodyweight Squat Squatting isn't just a movement you do at the gym. Every time you sit down, you're performing squats so it's important to master this move! Stand up straight with your head facing forward. Pick a spot at eye level to focus on. Place your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Push your chest up and outward and hold your hands straight out in front of you, palms facing down. Begin the exercise by lowering your glutes down like you're going to sit on a chair or bench. Continue down until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Your weight should be in your heels. Finish the move by pushing up through your heels and rising back to the standing, or starting, position. Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography
