    Trouble keeping feet flat when squatting

    The title is pretty much self-explanatory. I'm trying to include squats in my routine, but I'm having major issues keeping my feet flat on the ground and it puts major strain on my knees when going up. Is this a common problem with beginners and, more importantly, what can I do to fix it?

    How effective are flys when laying flat on the floor?
