Part 6/8:

6. Squats
Squats are one of the most effective movements for building lower body strength and improving mobility. They target major muscle groups essential for daily functional activities.
To do a squat:
Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Lower your hips back and down as if sitting in a chair, keeping your chest upright.
Push through your heels to return to a standing position.
Begin with bodyweight squats and gradually introduce weights to enhance strength.
