Whether you’re performing back squats with a barbell, using weights, or just your body weight, avoiding these mistakes will help you squat more effectively and safely.

Mistake 1: Heel Lift and Weight on Toes
If your heels are coming up and you’re putting too much weight on your toes, it’s time to sit back on your heels. Learn how to distribute your weight correctly to maintain balance and protect your knees.

Mistake 2: Chest Leaning Forward
A forward-leaning chest can throw off your squat form and strain your back. We’ll show you how incorporating the Cat-Cow pose can improve your mobility and help keep your chest upright.

Mistake 3: Not Squatting Deep Enough
Are you getting low enough in your squat? Your hips should be parallel with your knees for a full range of motion. We’ll demonstrate how to achieve proper depth to maximize the benefits of your squats.
