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.
