How to Do Squats

Squat is an exercise, which trains mainly the muscles of the hips, buttocks and thigs. It also helps to improve the strength of the bones, ligaments and introduction of the tendons right through the lower body. Squats are considered as a very important exercise for mounting the strength and size of the buttocks and legs. In spite of the popularity of squats, they have often caused injuries to the lumbar spine and knees, need modification from the criterion squat with an Olympic bar, with several variants now used. Squats can also be seen in a competitive lift known as “powerlifting”.

The movement of squat began with a standing position. Weights are usually used in squats, both in the bar braced crossways the “trapezius” of the upper back or hand.  Squats movement includes bending the hips and knees to lower the upper body and associated weight, then getting back to the straight position. Squats can maintain the number of depths, the deeper the squat, the larger the training effect. In “Quarter squats” thighs are not parallel to the ground, whereas parallel squats do. Most of the training of squats takes place between a quarter and parallel squat, but it depends on the level of training skill, and reason of the exercise. Performing squats below parallel considered as a deep squats, whereas above squatting is considered as shallow squats.

When the body moves down, the hips and knees experience flexion, the ankle dorsiflexes and muscles surrounded by the joint contract unconventionally, getting maximal contraction at the bottom of the movement while slowing and reversing descent. The ankle muscles works to offer stability. Recurring to upright contracts the muscles concentrically, and the knees and hips experience extension when the ankle plantarflexes.

The Two most common flaws of the squat movement contain descending very quickly and flexing the upper body far forward. Quick descent risks being incapable to accomplish the lift and can cause injury. Over-flexing the upper body largely increases the pressure exerted on the lower back, risking a spinal disc herniation.

Things required

·         Free weights or barbells (optional)

Instructions:

  • Be on your feet and spread your legs separately to just some extent, so that they come even with your shoulders. Place your toes outward. Settle down your body and push your shoulders back to keep good posture. Put your both feet tightly on the surface.

  • Allow yourself to set up a “natural breathing” process, so that you are inhaling deeply and exhaling completely. Maintain this process until you finish the exercise repetitions.
  • tighten your abdominal muscles, while you work out on another muscle group, keeping your tummy tight and push it in as much as you can.
  • Keep your arms straight and in front of you, hence that they come perpendicular to your body. If you are planning to use supplementary resistance like “barbells”, grasp the weights in your hands and keep your arms in the described position.

  • Curve your body in a sitting position, assume if you are sitting on a chair without sitting completely down. You must experience the sprain and stretch of your leg muscles when you bend.

  • Maintain that position for some minutes and after a while come back to your upright position. Squat Movement should be deliberate and slow.

Carry on this process for three to four sets of 15 squats each. Over time, increase the number of repetitions, or squats, per set for maximum results.
