  2. Lower your body down by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if you were sitting on a chair.
  3. Keep your chest up and your back straight throughout the movement.
  4. Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the ground or as low as you can comfortably go.
  5. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push through your heels to return to the starting position.
