Squat Like a Baby, Don't Whine Like One

Squats, as everyone knows, is one of the best workouts that you can add to your program more regularly. It is also one of the most natural movement compared to almost any other exercise. But why is it also one of the most feared basic exercises?

The Squat has involves all phases of training, corrective exercise, endurance, hypertrophy, strength, and power, but feared because of the lack of knowledge to do so. I say that the squat is one of the most basic exercises because it involves to your life daily like sitting down at your desk or even at dinner. It is also an exercise that you would want to do correctly because it can cause serious injuries.

There are many different ways to do a squat but the most basic and yet still effective way to do it is like a baby. Have you ever seen a baby squat before? Well I bet you have but you have never realized the mechanics in it before. Now when you watch one of those rugrats drop it low look real close at the position of the key point in the body during a squat. The head is going to be in a neutral position where the neck is going to be relaxed. The baby’s core will be strong and firm with a slight bend in the lower back and most importantly it will be parallel to their shins. Like usual the knees will not pass the toes but will still have a slight bend to it laying them almost directly on top of those little piggy’s.

If you take the advice of a baby and follow by example then you will indeed have the perfect squat. Now stop whining and start squatting like a baby.
