STOP DOING SQUATS!❌ (DO THIS!✅)

BAD KNEES?😅 STOP DOING SQUATS! ❌

If you have bad knees stay away from squats and try these exercises!

But…

Here are 5 Tips if you want to do Squats:

1️⃣ Warm-up and stretch: Prior to squats, ensure you warm up with light cardio exercises to increase blood flow to your muscles. Additionally, perform gentle stretches that target your lower body, focusing on your quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip flexors.

2️⃣ Modify your squat technique: Modify your squat technique to reduce strain on your knees. Use a wider stance, angle your feet slightly outward, and focus on sitting back and down rather than going too deep. This helps to engage your glutes and hamstrings more while reducing stress on your knees.

3️⃣ Use support: Incorporate support devices such as knee sleeves, braces, or wraps to provide stability and compression to your knees. These can help alleviate pain and offer additional support during squats.

4️⃣ Gradually increase intensity: Start with bodyweight squats or use a chair or stability ball for support. As your knees become stronger and more stable, gradually increase the intensity by adding weights or resistance bands. Listen to your body and progress at a pace that feels comfortable and safe for you.

I hope this helps 🖤💪🏾

i took physical therapy for patella issue a few years ago. Oddly enough, they made me do squats! 😂😅 plus a series of stretch exercises and a few of the moves in this video. They claimed my patella issues were because my hamstrings were too tight and I had a weak muscle (shown in mri) behind my knee. My knee did get better but it still seems odd that was one of their main exercises for it.
