How to do the Deep Squat Stretch

2. Lower your hips into a deep squat while keeping heels grounded.
3. Place elbows inside your knees, press palms together, and hold the stretch.

Tips

• Lift your chest and keep your back straight.
• Use your elbows to gently guide knees outward.

Adjustments

• Place a folded towel under your heels if they lift off the floor.
• Hold onto a chair or wall for balance support.
