Technik-Tipps
Maintaining correct form is crucial in Cossack squats. Keep your back straight, your chest up, and your weight on your heels. When you squat down, make sure your knee is in line with your toes, not extending past them. A common mistake is letting the knee collapse inward or extend too far forward, which can lead to injury.
Try to squat as low as you can while maintaining good form. However, don't force yourself into a deeper squat if it's causing discomfort or if you're unable to keep your form. It's better to do a shallower squat correctly than a deeper squat incorrectly.
