The half squat is a squat variation where you lower your hips to about a 90-degree knee bend, focusing on building leg strength with less range of motion than a full squat.
💡 Instructions:
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointed out.
Brace your core and keep your chest upright.
Push your hips back and bend your knees until they reach about 90 degrees.
Keep your weight evenly distributed on your heels and midfoot.
Push through your heels to return to the starting position.
⚠️ Common mistakes:
Letting your knees cave inward.
Leaning too far forward with your torso.
Lifting your heels off the ground.
Not engaging your core throughout the movement.
