Positioning is very important in most exercises to increase effectiveness and to avoid injury. Proper positioning while squatting, feet should be shoulder width apart angled outward slightly. Always looking forward, torso upright, shoulders back and always moving in a straight line up and down (never swaying in various directions). Now at the base of the movement, you should feel like you are about to sit in a chair... calf and hamstring nor chest and thigh should meet, then back to an upright standing position. If you feel off balance, check your foot positioning and at the base of the movement push back further into the invisible seat. See illustration below.
