RE: The 1st Steemit Fitness Challenge - 20 Years Out Of Shape - WORKOUT 006

Nobody can stop you now @winstonwolfe!

I hope you don't mind if you offer you what I consider really important advice. It looks like when you're attempting to do a squat you're actually doing something that could one day give you a knee injury.

Because the knee is not a muscle people don't realise the damage they do to them until one day they just go.

Advice

  • Use a mirror to help you to get this technique right.
  • As you squat down your bum should go back behind you
  • You'll notice this is much harder on your thighs which is the muscle this exercise is meant to work
  • Watch your knees in the mirror and keep them from going forward in front of your toes
  • If you're not getting my meaning, practice with a chair.
  • A squat is just like sitting back onto an invisible chair.
  • Your knees should be bent at a right angle
  • It looks like you were sitting onto your ankles which applies more pressure on the knees

This is a video I used for another blog. You don't have to have your feet so wide apart like I have (I'm doing this to work my inner thighs more) but everything else applies.

Just got done with workout 007 and followed your advice.
HOLY WOW. There it is!
