I have pain with squats. How do I modify?

If you have knee pain with squats, make sure to shift the weight into your heels and sit your hips way back, as if you're sitting in a chair. Your knees should stay vertically aligned over your second or third toe and not shear forward past your toes. If you continue to have pain, hold onto something and don't go as deep into the movement.
