It needs to be the way we think about how important our legs are.
Workout your legs as much as you can. On days where you don't, make sure to do some active stretching, to keep making your legs strong.
Our legs have to be strong and mobile in order to cary our bodies around, ALL the time.
Here is a video to show you some great calisthenics exercises that will help you build explosive and strong legs.
Let's go!
No equipment needed!
Combine those with an efficient warm up and deep #core exercises, to build some solid calisthenics foundations:
-Knee raises
-Butt Kicks
-Pogo Jumps
-Narrow squats
-Donkey Kicks
-Mountains Climbers
-Superman & Scorpio flow
-Dynamic side planks
-Windshield wipers

Focus on the best form you can perform for each rep of each set. Start with 3 sets of each if you are just beginning your journey.
Increase the volume as you progress weeks after weeks.
This will challenge most body parts and hit many different angles.

The short answer is: better ankle mobility.
I highly recommend to get some video footage of your training sessions with your phone, when you have a chance. Not for Instagram, but to help you picture your movement while you are performing it.
It's actually how pro athletes train, with more cameras. Attention to details will increase your results. It is simple and does wonders to your workouts and progress over time.
You can take a few 10-15 sec highlight snippets, of any movement, to check your form, and see where you can make progress, then adjust your form next time you train.
This will make your legs more mobile and improve your squat!
Have a good squat session later!
