# Bodyweight Squats Hold

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands crossed to your chest.

## How to do it

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands crossed to your chest.
2. Lower your body into a squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back.
3. Hold the squat position for the desired duration, maintaining proper form throughout.
4. Stand back up to the starting position by pressing through your heels and straightening your legs.

## Form tips

- Focus on keeping your feet flat on the floor to ensure stability and proper form.
- Ensure your knees are aligned with your toes during the squat to prevent strain on your knees.
- Focus on steady breathing to help maintain the hold and prevent fatigue.
