#Info – Bodyweight Squat
The bodyweight squat is a versatile exercise that targets the lower body, primarily the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. Common mistakes include letting the knees cave inward, not keeping the chest up, and allowing the heels to lift off the ground. Focus on maintaining proper form by engaging your core and keeping your weight on your heels. To adapt this exercise, beginners can use a chair for support, while advanced users can try single-leg squats or add jumps for increased intensity. Consistent practice improves strength, flexibility, and stability, making it a foundational movement in many fitness routines.
