Squats are an important part of learning to pick up things off the floor, strengthening your thighs and many different exercises. Here is how to squat correctly.

• Feet straight, toes up
• Bend at the ankle, knee, hips, pelvis, low back and pelvis equally on both sides
• Knees stay behind toes and inside ankles
• Keep stomach engaged, the deeper the squat the closer the hips to the lower thigh muscles contract
• Arms over head, shoulder blades back and down
• Navel to spine, pelvis floor tight
