Squat for squats sake

Throughout time the squat has been a fundamental movement pattern for all human beings, but with the introduction of chairs we have all become incredibly lazy neglecting something that could aid with many other areas of life.

Here are some basic tips for improving your squat:

. Slowly, slowly catchy monkey. Yes we would all like to be able to reach below parallel hitting full range of motion but work to your own ability. Utilise bands, suspension systems and static bars to help reach full range.

. Warm up thoroughly, spend a good 20minutes mobilizing ankles, knees and hip to allow your body to move smoothly and reduce the chance of any injury.

. Add variance, once you have perfected the air squat/body-weight squat start to introduce weight, this could be from the use of a barbell, dumbbells or even kettlebells. You also have the choice of a back squat, overhead squat or front squat, use your imagination and keep your body guessing.
