Manage your squat

Manage your squat 🦵 When it comes to effective squats, you want to get deep enough in them to feel like you're doing something. But maybe tight hips or ankles are holding you back. First ALWAYS warm up your joints. We are always so focused on warming up the muscles that we fail to think about lubricating the joints before heading into a move. So take some time with a move called hip cars and also moving your ankles around a bit in addition to warming up the leg muscles and glutes. Next set yourself up for an additional trick to help out those tight ankles. Elevate the heels. Use weight plates or a riser from a step. Something sturdy! I prefer using dumbbells with this technique because I feel a bit more safe, but you can absolutely do this setting up under the squat rack. Give this a try and let me know if it helps. #squats #lift #wellness
