We squat all the time - doing yard work, picking things up off the ground and just the movement that comes along with sitting, to name a few examples. So building strength in your legs by adding the squat to your exercise routine is a smart way to help prevent injuries while doing your everyday activities.<br />
<br />
Doing squats with bad form can turn the exercise against you though, so it is important to begin doing squats by learning how to do a squat with correct form. This video will show you the key components:<br />
<br />
1) Take a wide stance (about shoulder-width apart)<br />
2) Put your hands out in front of you for balance<br />
3) Sit back as if you are sitting in a chair, keeping your feet flat on the ground and your knees behind your toes.<br />
4) As you are sitting back, keep your chest up and your head looking forward.<br />
<br />
When you are first starting off with squats, do 1-3 sets with 10 reps in each set and 30-60 seconds rest in between, and really concentrate on doing the form correctly. As you build strength in your legs, you can add sets or more reps to each set.<br />
<br />
