As someone with chronic fatigue it's a joy to watch a video where someone explains clearly and puts the emphasis on moving within your limits. Much appreciated. ❤

I went through many videos to understand the mechanics of squat and I kid you not when i say this video is the simplest for beginners...no matter what...I just could not understand how to keep the back while squatting...this actually was simple for a beginner to understand thanks a ton!!!!

I attend an exercise class where we include wall sits during our warm-ups. I like to place a rubber ball between my knees. Telling jokes, we do the "hold" type of wall sit for one minute. Your advice about lining up your knees so they don't go over your toes is so important. Our instructor describes the squatting position of our knee as being in alignment with our ankle. And she always warns us to keep our lower back flush against the wall. I like that you added the "pelvic tilt" as part of the description of the torso.

That's the best squat for me, my knees started hurting really bad when I attempted chair or normal squats, I'll keep doing this till I get strong enough to do an actual squat, thank you very much❤

Hello, in 2020 I had a severe sciatic nerve attack and it’s been two years and I am 73 years old but very active, I am an able now to squat down but my chiropractor told me to do the wall squats so I hope you’re going to do those, I can do the yoga stretches with no issues but the squats are an issue so I’m going to start doing those on a regular basis and strength in my legs I used to have very strong legs but since the sciatic nerve attack I’m having a build Myself back up thank you so much for your helpful information

Thanks for the great information. You are easy to understand. I warmed up doing some squats holding on to the kitchen sink. Keep up the great work ❤.

Wow! I finally understand what I am supposed to do. Thank you so much for the thorough and detailed explanations, and for showing the different positions according to ability.

[Nanasmiles]

Thank you! This is just a perfect explanation and so helpful
.I just can not do regular squats but I can do these with your expertise!

[laxmanrana]

Good explanation. I've seen many videos about squats for beginners, I tried and got my hamstring injured. You explained good, you told how to do, how much do and easy way to do squats.
Most physiotherapist and fitness experts do not tell you about do's and don'ts, how many times a beginner can do, the risk of doing wrong etc.
But your video is very helpful.

Thank you so much, this was very helpful. You are a very good teacher & teaching is an art!💖

[gregbilser]

Super clear explanation. Think normal squats are really hard to get right and have been looking for an alternative that gives me most of the benefits and to feel more confidence that I'm protecting my knees a bit better. So can't wait to put these into my next routine and give them a go. Many thanks.
