How can I improve my squat form?

Strength Training

To improve your squat form, follow these tips:

  • Start with proper foot placement: Keep your feet shoulder-width apart with toes slightly pointed out.
  • Engage your core: Tighten your core muscles to stabilize your spine during the squat.
  • Drive through your heels: Push through your heels, not your toes, to engage the glutes and hamstrings.
  • Maintain a neutral spine: Keep your back straight and avoid rounding your shoulders.
  • Go to parallel: Lower your hips until they are at least parallel to the ground for full range of motion. Practicing with proper form will help prevent injury and maximize the benefits of your squat.
