Squat Depth

My cousin showing her perfect squat technique
Squatting is a natural movement. As you can see in the picture above she is squatting to rock bottom(hamstrings touching calves). The other thing to look at is her posture and alignment. Her back is perfectly straight, heels are down, and her head is perfectly aligned with her spine. This is the position that babies play in. For some reason as people get older they often times lose their ability to get into this perfect squat. If you want to keep your back and knees pain free, then squatting with this form is one of the best things that you can do.
