Its important to understand the feeling of proper positioning in your squat. This is a nice drill that gives great feedback to the body.⠀ -⠀ 🎥 By @dr_vin ⇦ Thank you! 🙌⠀ .⠀ SQUAT CHALLENGE: OWN YOUR FORM ••• Why Squat? 💪Anabolic - compound exercise ➡️ widespread muscle recruitment ➡️ burn fat, build muscle 🏋🏻Functional - purposeful 👵🏼Healthy Aging - studies show leg strength to be a strong predictor of longevity 💭Brain Health - increased leg strength linked to improved cognitive function _______________________________________________________ HOW TO: If your technique is shit, you can bet your ass your body will find ways to compensate/adapt to the dysfunctional movement. To resolve this and squat better, focus on the following tips: 🔹Find your point of true ‘balance’ - shift your body forwards & backwards, sensing how your feet and ankles adapt to the transfer of weight. 🔹After a few repetitions, you will feel your center of gravity set between your forefoot and heel. 🔹As you sit in your deep squat (depth varies between individuals), focus on feeling your glutes, hamstrings and quads turn on to hold you in that static position - Efficient muscle utilization = less shear stress on your joints. ⚠️Ensure you have adequate ankle flexibility/mobility prior to going ‘deep’. _______________________________________________________ Benefits to improving technique: ☑️ Increased squat depth... more muscle involvement... more gains ☑️ Prevent & rehabilitate injuries ☑️ End pain & restore function🏋🏽🤸♀️🥑🛏⠀ ••••••••••••⠀ #health #wellness #fitness #healthshare #healthsharing #healthylife #frogstretch #coachingcues #nutrition #massagetherapy #physiotherapy #strength #mobility #flexibility #exercise #workout #workoutvideo #exercisevideo #squatbetter #propersquat #squatform
