Exercise description

Starting position: Stand with the barbell on your back. The barbell should be placed on your tight back muscles so that your arms can be tight and stable holding the barbell. Feet approximately shoulder width apart, toes pointing outwards. Chest pushed forward, abdomen, back and glutes tight. Movement: Inhale into the diaphragm and then, maintaining the correct starting position and natural curvature of the spine, perform a smooth and slow squat to a position at about right angles or lower. Make sure your knees do not go inwards and the barbell stays at mid-foot level. Exhaling, stand back up to the starting position. Do not overextend your knees or hips. Repeat the exercise a set number of times at an appropriate pace.
