- Slowly lower your body by bending your knees while keeping your back straight.
- Lower down as far as you can while maintaining your balance.
- Push through your heels to return to the starting position.
Common Mistakes

- Leaning too far forward instead of keeping an upright position.

Modifications
- Use a wall or a chair for support if balance is an issue.
