Conseils techniques
Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing out slightly. When you squat down, ensure your knees are in line with your toes, not caving inward. This is a common mistake that can lead to knee injuries.
Squat down as low as you can while maintaining good form, but don't force yourself into a depth that's uncomfortable or causes pain. A common mistake is trying to go too deep too soon, which can strain your muscles and joints.
Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain balance and stability. This will also help you control your movement and protect your lower back.
