Bodyweight Wide Hand Together Squat

1. Starting Position:

   • Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart. Your toes should be pointed slightly outward.

   • Bring your hands together in front of your chest in a prayer or "namaste" position.

2. Squatting Movement:

   • Engage your core and keep your chest up.

   • Begin to lower your body by bending at the hips and knees, pushing your hips back as if sitting in a chair.

   • Keep your weight distributed evenly on your feet, focusing on keeping your heels on the ground.

3. Depth of the Squat:

   • Lower yourself until your thighs are at least parallel to the ground. If you can go lower comfortably, do so, but ensure you maintain good form.

   • Keep your knees aligned with your toes and avoid letting them cave inward.

4. Return to Starting Position:

   • Press through your heels to stand back up, straightening your legs and returning to the starting position.

   • Ensure that your back remains straight and your chest stays lifted throughout the movement.

5. Repetitions:

   • Start with 10-15 repetitions and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the movement.

Tips:

• Breathe in as you lower into the squat and breathe out as you push back up.

• Focus on maintaining good form rather than speed.

• If you're having trouble with balance, try squatting next to a wall or chair for support.
