How to do:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the barbell across your shoulders, keeping your elbows high. 2. Keep your chest up and your core engaged. 3. Lower your hips into a squat by bending your knees while keeping your back straight. 4. Go down until your thighs are parallel to the floor. 5. Push through your heels to return to the starting position. 6. Repeat for 8-12 reps. 7. Perform 3-4 sets.

Tips:

- Keep your elbows up to prevent the bar from falling forward. - Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement. - Engage your core for stability. - Start with a lighter weight if you're new to front squats.
