Squats are an amazing exercise for LONGEVITY!

If you’re NOT currently doing squats on a regular basis, I highly recommend adding them to your routine. (If you’re following my programs, you will be doing them already!)

In this short video, I show you the key form points for doing squats correctly.

Getting your form correct helps maximize the effects you get, but more importantly, helps you avoid injury.

1. Get into a shoulder width stance, with your feet fully in contact with the floor.
2. Squat down by imagining you’re sitting back into a chair.
3. Stand back up by feeling like you’re pressing the floor away from you.
4. Throughout the movement, keep your chest up and your back in a neutral posture.

Some of the common mistakes people make when squatting, are:

1. Lifting the heels up as you reach the bottom of the squat. Keep your feet planted flat!
2. Letting your knees move inward towards each other at the bottom of the squat. Make sure your knees are tracking in line with your toes throughout.
3. Rounding the back through the movement. Your back should remain neutral at all times.

Aim to complete around 8-10 sets of squats each week, in whatever rep range suits you and your goals.

For strength gain, use a low rep range (3-6 reps) and add as heavy a weight as you can safely manage for that number of reps.

For muscle gain, use a mid rep range (8-12 reps) and add as heavy a weight as you can safely manage for that number of reps.

For endurance, use a high rep range (15-20 reps) and use a relatively light weight, resistance bands, or body weight.

Happy squatting!
