Bodyweight Squats Exercise
How to Do
How to Do Squats With Your Bodyweight
No excessive tension in abdominals, hip flexors, and or quadriceps.
Each squat with bodyweight should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop squatting with bodyweight.

"You Can't Outrun a Bad Diet"
90% of obesity is driven by diet, not lack of movement. Your body has a "Metabolic Thermostat." When you exercise more, it burns less energy elsewhere to keep you stable.
This Plan is Generic. You Need Specific.
This sample menu works for an "average" person. But you aren't average. Your hormonal profile, weight history, and activity level require exact macro targets to work.
