I'm new to the gym and I want to start lifting free weights. What's a good exercise for beginners?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Squats are a great exercise for beginners. They work multiple muscle groups and are easy to learn.<|im_end|>

That sounds good. What's the proper form for doing a squat?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, then bend your knees and lower your body down until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Keep your back straight and push through your heels to return to standing.<|im_end|>

Okay, got it. How many squats should I do for a good workout?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Start with 3 sets of 8-12 reps and gradually increase the number as you build strength and endurance.<|im_end|>
