Iāve talked about squats before but Iām going to bring them up again! One of the absolute best movements is the squat. Youāre working your whole body with this one (as long as youāre performing it correctly). When performing a barbell back squat, the weight should be placed evenly between the hips and the knees (if youāre making your knees take on most of the weight and doing most of the work, you will hurt your knees). Make sure you shift your weight to your heels and NOT your toes. When coming down keep your chest up and spread your knees out and wide, you donāt want your knees caving in! And your feet stay fixed in the ground. If youāre not super comfortable with the squat yet, I recommend starting with air squats and working your way up.. you have to start somewhere! Some of my fav squats are the barbell back squat (obviously), front squat, pin squats, landmine squats, zercher squats, Jefferson squats, box squats, etc. thereās so many different ways to squat! Drop me a message if your interested in squatting with me! Happy Tuesday yāall! š
