JJ Virgin breaks down squat form for beginners. Start with a chair behind you to tap down and stand back up, use a mirror for feedback, and keep your chest high by looking up over your hands. Sit back into your heels like you're lowering into a chair.
So in order to do a squat, if you're new to it, make sure that you have a mirror that you can look in. And ideally you have a chair behind you because what you can do is tap down on the chair and stand back up, right? And that's an easy way to start. Another way you can do it is to cheat with a TRX machine to help hold you so that you can get your range of motion. And all I'm doing in the squat is coming down, tapping, and up. Now I like to, when I'm just starting doing an air squat, I like to keep my hands around my shoulders. And then look up over my hands so that I'm keeping my chest and my head high, and I'm really working on extending my spine and sitting back into my heels as if I'm sitting down into a chair.
