• SQUATTING can help to improve flexibility and also strengthen your hips, reducing the chances of back problems occurring. 

• Remember that you do not “bounce” at the bottom.

• If you are not able to perform a full squat while keeping your heels flat, try putting a small block under your heels

• Initially perform half-squat i.e. MINI SQUAT
