3 Tips for a Better Squat

Between Instagram booty routines and 30-day squat challenges, it’s never been more popular to work your hind-quarters.

Indeed, training squats is a must whether you’re trying to build a bigger caboose, lose weight, or get an overall stronger body.

Why Squats are Vital for your Health…

The very first exercise I teach new clients at Charlotte Kettlebell is the bodyweight squat.  With just a few reps, I can pick up on some very important things:

  • General mobility of the ankles, knees, and hips
  • Balance
  • Leg strength
  • Breathing habits
  • Core engagement

… and much more, especially when we start to add a bit of weight.

Because most of us sit on our butts all day, it’s vital that we work them properly in the gym.

This means a few things:

  • Full range of motion
  • Proper (safe) form
  • Challenging weights or variations

It’s rare to see all 3!
