Squat
Schritt für Schritt
So geht’s
- Start the movement by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if you're about to sit on a chair, keeping your chest up and your back straight.
- Lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the floor, or as far as is comfortable for you.
- Pause for a moment at the bottom of the squat, maintaining your balance and keeping your knees over your feet.
- Push through your heels to return to the starting position, straightening your legs and hips.

Technik-Tipps
Aim for a deep squat where your thighs are parallel to the ground or lower if you can manage. Half squats do not engage your glutes and hamstrings as much as deep squats do. However, if you are a beginner or have knee issues, start with shallow squats and gradually increase the depth as your strength and flexibility improve.
It's important to warm up before squatting to prepare your muscles and joints for the exercise. Jumping straight into heavy squats without a warm up can lead to strain or injury.
