fab as ever! I'm always looking for ways to change a specific important exercise like the squat to give some variety in class and stop it being boring so this was a great help. Many thanks x
You're the BEST, very educational, safe with lots of variations & modifications, you rules. Keep on the good work. we all appreciate. Cheers from Portugal.
You can do it! I'm not naturally a flexible person and I still have lots to work on. But with consistent mobility work and then making sure to strengthen through the range of motion you build, you can get great results!
thank you for the inspirational reply! I'm going to the chiropractor this week to see why my knees and hips don't want to communicate, very frustrating for me. When I drop something in the floor I look at it to decide IF I really need it again right away and this is why I'm using squats to slowly improve my range of motion. You look so graceful btw when you hop and leap :-)
You make really great videos that focus on functional exercises that cooperate core and full motion of all muscle groups which is necessary before adding muscle also to make good gains and prevent injuries due to lack of muscle engagement. Good job! No, I'm not an expert, just a person that understands the importance of fundamentals.
Well thanks! Your knees shouldn't hurt though! If you don't have an injury and your knees hurt when squatting, you may want to consider glute activation first and assessing your squat form.
@Redefining Strength oh hi, I wasn't expecting a reply, your form and physique are super impressive, two thumbs up. My knees have hurt on and off over the years even when I'm not working out, but when I do most variations of squats in the right form I'm fine. I did a total of 405 squats tonight in 11 variations, yippee 😁 btw your dog is super cute 🙂
haha yea I have a habit of replying! And thanks! Coconut says thanks too! Lots of squats! Consider some quad rolling and lots of glute activation around your squats to keep those knees safe and healthy. There can be other things at work of course, but those are two good areas to start with :-)
I was hoping the video explained why you might use some of these variations? I'm looking for something that's the least amount of pressure for low back (disc bulge )or even body types /limitations. Do I just try them all and find one that doesn't hurt me?
Wondering, how often I should train each part of the body per week? Splitting in upper lower body, or fullbody? Atm no gym available (Corona virus) Love all your videos ❤️!!!
Hi ! I'm a French female ! The video lasts 5m, I think this video is composed of several cuts ! Can you practise all theses exercices in once time ? Your work is so great !
Hi Edith. Thanks! This is not a workout. It shows squat options to include in your workouts. Here is how I would use these in 4 different workout options :-) Enjoy the workouts! - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OvvIR45U0HA.html
Many thanks for your excellent videos.Suggestion: would be very helpful for the names of the squats to remain on the screen while you are performing them, instead of removing them after 1 or 2 seconds.
Maybe you could make movie for those who can't do full squat? I train crossfit for few months, our couch is really wise woman, a physio, so she's looking for answers why I can't do this with me, but maybe you can help? Like - what can be a obstacle and squat progression? Greetings, looking foreward for next movies
