Continuing on with our functional fitness exercise spotlight, today, letโs talk about squats!
You either love them or hate them, but from sitting in a chair to picking up groceries, you squat throughout the day without even realizing it. Adding squats to your workout routine will help you maintain your functional strength no matter what your day brings!
Muscles worked:
โ
quads
โ
hamstrings
โ
glutes
โ
abdominals
How to:
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, leaving your arms straight down at your sides.
Brace your core and begin to push your hips back, bending your knees as if youโre going to sit in a chair. Ensure that your knees donโt cave in and that your chest stays proud. Pause when your thighs reach parallel to the floor. Push up evenly through your whole foot back to the starting position.
It sounds fairly simple, right? Yet, I see so many people doing this wrong. Take the time today to practice the proper way to do a squat - go slow and really work through it. Youโll thank me for it later.
