Squats

How Do I Squat?


    1. Stand with the feet shoulder width apart, toes straight ahead and hold the bar behind your neck across the shoulders
    2. Look straight ahead and lower yourself slowly until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
    3. As you reach the bottom reverse direction smoothly and drive your feet into the ground and driving the hips forward and stand up. Exhaling as you do so.
    Note: **The key to squatting is form. If your form is great then this movement will have only benefits. If your form is poor then you will have serious injuries. It is very important to have your back remain straight at all times.
