Squat

Squats are a fundamental exercise that target the lower body, primarily the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. A common mistake is allowing knees to cave inward; instead, keep them aligned with your toes. Avoid rounding your back by engaging your core throughout the movement. To adapt for beginners, start with bodyweight squats, gradually adding weights as strength improves. For advanced variations, try goblet or jump squats. Maintain proper form by keeping your chest up and weight distributed through your heels. Squats can enhance functional strength, improve balance, and support joint health when performed correctly.
