Learn How To Squat With Andrea!
Learn HOW TO Squat with me 🏋️♀️
Before squatting, I like to make sure we mobilize aka. create space for the body so that it can comfortably sit into a squat. Try out these moves:
〰️90/90’s
〰️half kneeling hip rocks & adductor hip rocks
From there I like to add in:
〰️dead-bugs
〰️glute bridges
〰️planks
These moves work to ‘turn on’ our core and glutes so that we can have proper control of our pelvic/lumbar area. This will help you maintain a neutral and safe position with your spine while sitting into your squat!
Newer to squatting? Focus on maintaining core tension, and a neutral spinal position while practicing seated squats. This is a great place to work.
How deep should you squat? This really depends on your body, your goals, and what kind of activities you want to participate in outside of your indoor fun moves. Squatting to 90 degrees while maintaining a neutral spinal position is a great place to work for most of us.
Can’t quite get there? No problem! Try elevating your heels on a surface, working on hip + ankle mobility, and bringing some control (awareness) to your core.
