I can't do this well, help?

i can't get very low on squats and lunges, and i can't go down far without lifting my heals... what is wrong with me?how can i get lower?
Answer:
Start out with very low weight to get the proper form down and then start adding weight. You don't have to go all the way down, just have your thighs parallel to the floor. It is OK if you lift your heels a little. If your heels are always off the ground then that means your calves are tight. Stretch them before you do squats.
you need to warm up and stretch thoroughly before u start the excercises...sounds like your hamstrings and calves are tight...
You can't go below a 90 degree angle with your upper leg and lower leg. Your upper leg should be parallel to the floor. It just takes practice.
