Getting Your Squats Right
Hey everybody! Today I was doing Turbo Jam 3T which is a great workout for strength training. And when we got to the first set of squats I was reminded that a lot of people have trouble knowing if they are doing them with the right form. Chalene says, look down and see if you can see your toes. If you can't you're doing it wrong. But what if you still have knee pain even when you can see your toes? I have come across that issue myself. But while doing a Firm video a while back, the leader fo the workout said that to make sure you are putting all the weight back into your hips (which is what you're supposed to do) lift your toes in your shoes. If you can't lift your toes then you are leaning too far forward. I find that everysingle time I do squats now I lift my toes jsut to make sure I'm getting it right. Hey I don't want to do all those squats for nothing. So when you are doing your squats, lift your toes in your shoes and you will know that you are doing your squats right. It helps everytime! Have fun squatting!!
