Antonia: squat

Hello,

In order to make a squat it is said that you have to: Stand up straight with hands on hips, your legs wide apart and your knees turned out to a 45° angle. Squat down...

I don't understand the pink verb, where are they turned out? Does it mean to bend?

Thanks

in your sentence it means something like 'pointed outwards'. in other words your feet aren't pointing straight ahead but at a 45 deg angle and your knees follow suit. the bending is part of the squatting motion itself, not the preparation.
