Check Your Form: Squats


A lot of us tend to do squats with poor form. (Now, this is for normal squats and not deep squats) By doing squats with the correct form, we MAY be able to alleviate knee discomfort during our workout.

  • Start with feet about hips width apart
  • hing at the hips and press down with your heels. 
  • don't bow or curve your back. Keep it straight
  • use your abdominal muscles! keep them tight
  • knees shouldn't go past your toes 
  • keep chest up
Always be conscious about your form! The last thing I want is for you to get hurt during class.
