The standard posture of tai chi squat
The standard posture of Tai Chi Squat is shown as follows:

The correct posture of Tai Ji Chuan's squat should be from beginning to end, the trunk should be straight from head to waist, and the hips should be pursed back.

Starting posture: the whole body is relaxed, the legs are separated, slightly wider than the shoulders (or shoulder width), and stand naturally; The direction of toes is basically an inverted figure, which is based on the direction of the second toe of the foot; When squatting, the direction of the knee should be on the extension line of the second toe, which is more natural and effortless.

End posture: Kneel until the thighs are parallel to the ground (depending on physical strength, the elderly or beginners can take a half squat or 1/4 squat first); When you squat completely, the pause can exercise your muscles best.

Posture when standing: The key point when standing is to feel the whole sole pressing down on the ground and stand upright.

Squat speed: the squat speed is about 5 seconds 1 time (physical strength, better comfort), and it is best to slow down deliberately when squatting.

Breathing method: while squatting, inhale; Stand up and exhale.

Practice times: pay attention to what you can do, step by step, 1 day for more than 30 times; People who are weak start to do less, and those who have physical strength can do more. It can be determined according to your own situation. Exercise for 5 ~ 15 minutes each time, usually 1 time or 2 ~ 3 times a day.
