Set your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out. Pull in your lower abs, and keep your eyes forward. Slowly bend at the knees and drop your hips to lower your body. Keep your heels flat on the floor. At the bottom of the exercise pause for a moment and strongly push back up to the starting position, mirroring the descent.

To get into the proper form for a good bodyweight squat, follow the following steps: Standing with your feet slightly wider than your hip width, turn your toes slightly outward. Prepare your abdominal muscles to engage your core. Take a deep breath and begin your movement by hinging at your hips then bending your knees into a squat position.
