One simple trick to make crouching down and squatting EASIER

One simple trick can help ☝🏽

When you squat or crouch down, pay attention, what joint do you bend first? For many people, it’s the knees 🦵🏽

This is one of the main reasons why crouching can be so uncomfortable and why it can can feel difficult or awkward 👀

I see this SO often. Which is interesting because most people use their hips first when they sit in a chair. But without the chair, the knees bend first 🤔

Trying 8-10 repetitions of these squat with a press out can be helpful so your body gets used to moving in this way ☝🏽

Every other day can be a great habit to start with for most people. If things painful for you, try using a chair first. Sit down in the chair while pressing the object out in front ➡️

Whether you have knee arthritis, back pain, hip arthritis or simply just difficulty crouching down- this tip can be incredibly helpful ✅

Yes, your knees will still bend- it’s about what bends FIRST and where you shift your weight. Focus on bending at the hips first.

You are simply the best. I was paralysed 4 yrs ago. I learnt to walk again with sticks. The a yr ago I had a dreadful fall and did my knees in. I’m in constant pain. My pain killers make me sleep a lot and I haven’t been able to do exercises. I am now in a wheel chair. However I find your exercises are much easier because you explain everything so well. I love your voice and I feel you are my personal trainer and it encourages me to do more and better. Thank you with all my heart and sole. I’m determined to get out of the wheel chair. 🥰👍😇🇳🇿

Thank you. I was just talking to my son about how crouching was getting hard for me and then an hour later I find this short video. Since crouching is necessary for me I will be taking your advice.

Thanks for the tip! I do this exersise in my silver sneakers class. I didn't know this actually helps taking the load off of the knees...I thought it was to strengthen the thigh muscles. The instructor doesn't say why we are doing a certain exersise

I also find and if you spread your legs apart and reach down, it also makes it easier to grab things off the floor.
