Back Squats may be tough, but they're worth it!
Building strength, improving posture, and boosting overall fitness - all in one exercise.
It's no surprise why Back Squats will be heavily featured in our EDR Lift class.
This compound exercise moves all the joints in the lower body so mobility is key 🗝️
If you lack the mobility to get comfortably in the bottom of the squat try these two exercises:
➡️ Goblet squat: the goblet squat can be loaded with a kettlebell or dumbbell. Elevate your heels as much as you need to help you stay upright in the bottom.
➡️Front foot elevated split squats: this movement allows you to train the full range of a squat, 1 leg at a time. Elevate your front foot as much as you need to get your hamstring to touch your calf.
Now go get squatting!
