How to squat
Before you begin to perform a set of exercises, you should definitely warm up by rotating the feet, as well as flexing and extending the kneecaps. This allows you to make the knee joints and muscles more plastic, and will also have a positive effect on the effectiveness of each workout.
Special attention should be paid to the choice of squat mode. It is better to start with 100 times a day, dividing them into 5 sets of 20. As soon as the muscles get used to the load, it is recommended to divide the entire complex into 2 sets of 50 times. Ultimately, you should end up doing 100 squats in 5-8 minutes. At first, it is worth doing the exercise in slow motion, since forcing events often leads to sprains and discomfort. Increasing the load and acceleration is appropriate only when the muscles have acquired some tone.
The effectiveness of the exercise in question directly depends on how correctly it is performed. To do this, take a confident position, placing your feet shoulder-width apart, parallel to each other. With your hands on your belt or straight in front of you, you should do a squat with a flat back. In the process of flexion-extension of the legs, you should not tear your heels off the floor, and also make sure that your bent legs are parallel to the floor. Look straight ahead during the exercise. If you have a desire to properly pump the abdominal muscles, then this part of the body needs to be strained.
To practice the correct technique, you can use a chair, placing it behind you.
To avoid sprains, try to perform the exercise smoothly, without making sudden movements. If you have a desire to add weights, then it is recommended to do this no earlier than 2-3 weeks after the start. This is due to the fact that the weighting agents contribute to the creation of an additional load – at first, this negatively affects the condition of the muscles.
