What is the correct way to do squats?

Squats are a very good exercise method. Among various leg exercise methods, squats are the most common, most popular and one of the best exercise methods. Moreover, every sport and physical training needs to start with squats. It is important to master the correct way to squat, so that you can master the essentials of squats as soon as possible, achieve the proper exercise methods, and make your legs strong and powerful.

1. When doing squats, if you do them too fast, too many times, or use explosive force and rebound force, you will injure your knee joints. Some people often combine squats and running together, which is the most harmful to the knees.

2. Bend your legs and squat down, keeping your eyes on the ceiling. This is to ensure that your torso always keeps a vertical downward movement during the squatting process, and you do not make the wrong movement of bending over and sticking out your butt.

3. When squatting, the direction of the knee joint should be consistent with the direction of the toes. It cannot be turned inward or shake. Pay special attention to this point. Only in this way can the knee joint conform to exercise physiology. Be aware of this no matter what you do in the future. If the direction of the knee joint is inconsistent with the direction of the toes, the knee joint will be injured.

4. When standing up, keep your eyes looking at the ceiling, keep your spine straight, and keep your torso upright. That is, keep your legs straight and use the strength of your legs to lift your body up. Never try to straighten your legs by bending over and sticking out your butt. This allows the body to stand upright, the leg muscles to stretch and contract over the greatest range, and the exercise effect is best.

When doing squats correctly, you must keep the entire squat at a uniform speed. It is best to rest after doing ten to fifteen squats. For those who are doing squats for the first time, you must not rush, otherwise it will easily lead to increased exercise load and muscle strain.
