Let us know if this video helped you modify your squat so you can keep strengthening your legs.
Love your videos. Yes, it is definitely worth during this exercise every day
As you get more accustomed to the exercise to further challenge yourself with each workout, we recommend that you leave at least 48 hours between your workouts for adequate recovery. Our general recommendation is for you to start with 2 workouts each week!
I was very badly injured in a road accident a few years ago in which sadly people died. I broke all my ribs, both ankles, several bones in my left hand, punctured a lung, sustained a head injury and had a blood clot. I was immobile for many months and then put a lot of weight on, became afraid to move and developed arthritis. I have recently joined a very expensive gym which specialises in older people (I am 61) and injury rehab. I recognise many of the exercises that you are recommending and it is both helpful and reassuring to be reminded how to do the exercises properly at home. Thank you. (UK)
We're so sorry to hear about your accident. You've been through an incredible recovery, and we are so glad to hear that you are now ready to mobilize and get stronger through exercise. Thank you for the message and sharing your story. We hope to be of help in your fitness journey!
Great to see correct form demonstrated. Have corrected my technique Thanks
The technique that works for you is the best one! Keep it up :)
I stop bending below 90 degrees because I had sore knees which got worse. Was going to have operation to clear the knees in trying to find out what exercises to do after the operation was alerted to the fact that usually knee replacement is needed. I could front squat 300lb when I was 20 . Read an article that the knee needs to be flexed to repair. So I started to do very painful squats using door handles to help. 15.years later I’m squatting fully at 66years old at 135lb and I know I could go heavier. No pains.
It's great to hear about how much progress you've made so far. Keep up the hard work you've been doing!
Thanks for these great videos which keep me on track.😊
Glad to hear it! Keep up the hard work!
Wow love you guys so interesting and funny to so glad I found your channel ❤
Welcome to the channel!
Thx, as always, informative.
Our pleasure!
Female. 71. 57kg.
I've been doing these for a couple of years now. Started from scratch, incrementally adding weight. Now 20kg in a backpack. Still pain and stiffness on standing up if I've been sitting for any length of time, but heaps better at moving generally, specially @ table tennis. Do I keep increasing the weight?
Thanks 🙏🌹
You’re welcome 😊
Will be moving on to swats very soon .. yes have been avoiding them 😂
Let us know how you go!!
I am 56 and has knee pain on the right leg. It has opening, can I do this squat?
It's difficult for us to provide specific advice without assessing you in-person, but in general we know that exercise can be safe and healthy for your knees even for "severe osteoarthritis." As shown in the video, we recommend starting with a modification to the exercise to make it easier and more tolerable. Then, you can focus on staying consistent with your exercise and progressing gradually over time.
People (old and young) are not afraid of damaging joints, they are avoiding pain(ful movements).
Good to know your thoughts! Thanks for the message. Pain is a significant barrier to exercise, and its management is a crucial part of staying healthy and mobile. Keep up the good work!
