Squats are a go-to exercise for most people today. But is it possible that it might not be the right exercise for your body? As a fitness expert for over 25 years, I have gotten so many questions about many different topics regarding fitness and health. One subject I get asked about more than any other is squats. Here are some of the questions I have been asked about squats:
These are my insights into these commonly asked questions and this is what I share with my clients: First and foremost, I always remind people that we are not all the same. What is good for one person is not necessarily good for another. If any thing you are doing hurts or causes pain, STOP doing it. Do not follow the “just work through it” mentality. The truth about squats is that people do get injured and people do experience pain from it. Unfortunately, it might not be fair to place all the blame on squats because there are other extenuating circumstances that might have originally caused the injury but squats can (and do) contribute to the pain or injury. As a fitness professional, I would never want anyone to experience pain or injury, regardless of whether they are my client or not. I have always wondered if there are factors that contribute to the way that people execute or interpret the execution of an exercise. Could some exercises like squats be too fundamentally complex for certain bodies to execute properly or are they just not meant for everyone? The check-list below contains some factors that prevent people from being able to perform proper squats. Squatting checklist:
In theory, this check-list is a great idea but is this reality? These are just some of the requirements on the checklist that if you choose to squat, you should follow. Ironically, the same facts that make for a perfect squat are also the same facts that I believe makes it Because there is such a fierce support for some steady staples like squats, it has almost become a taboo to question or possibly have an alternative view about some of these exercises that are causing injuries It is true that some people do exercises improperly and I am sure we have all seen interesting exercise moves in our gym or on social media. It is a fact that a lot of people do exercises wrong, that’s nothing Could the exercises be too fundamentally complex for certain bodies to execute properly or are they just not meant for everyone? It might be a little bit of both, but we cannot find out if we continue to ignore I would never want anyone to get injured while exercising, even if they are not my client. I have always believed that things can always improve and that the fitness, weight-loss and health industry should No one type of exercise or method can give us the results we seek. We should always do more research on the things that we do, especially when it comes to our bodies. All human beings are different. We Squats are popular but very risky. Ultimately, it is your choice if the risk is worth it to you or not. If you have done squats in the past and have experienced pain or injuries, you might understand what I am If squats aren’t working for you, please try some of the UFiiT leg routines.
