After a decade of personal training experience, this is the most effective 3-step process to teach someone how to squat π WHEN it is a FOREIGN AF MOVEMENT to their brain and body π
NOT NOTED IN VIDEO:
π When youβre first learning a new movement pattern, we want repetition becauseβ¦
New movement = new skill being learned = new brain pathways being made
Repetition builds the skill and your confidence
(12-15 reps)
Why this works π
1. Itβs builds confidence in the movement, especially at the bottom position
2. Learning the hip hinge by sitting back onto a chair naturally forces you to push your hips back and bend your knees correctly, (rather than driving your knees too far forward)
3. Youβre learning to lower yourself slowly, which builds the strength, balance, and confidence needed for more difficult and heavier loaded squats in the future
4. Standing back up from a dead stop, seated position trains your muscles (quads, hamstrings, glutes) to generate force without relying on momentum
5. Your improving core stability by intentionally sitting upright and hinging forward which forces your core to engage for balance and posture (in addition, I work with my clients to properly engage their core)
Video is inspired by 2 current clients who have completed this process after about 8 weeks (timeline is different for everyone), and are now onto progressing in step 3 π₯Ίπ₯Ήπ
