Squat - Body Weight
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, slowly lower your body down as though you were going to sit back into a chair. Keep your body weight on the heel of your foot and concentrate on sticking your hips backwards rather than just moving down.
Throughout the movement keep your knees behind the line of your toes.
At the lowest point your knee should be at a 90 degree angle and when you reach this point push back up to a standing position.
