Great article. I would add:
-the first part of a squat is a shifting backwards of the hips
-keep your weight in your heels and outsides of your feet
-hold abdominals tight to keep the chest lifted
I work with so many clients in regaining their ability to squat but not necessarily all clients can squat to the floor. That’s ok. We will work around any limitations.
Hi!
No headphones here. No way. When I hear the sounds of the natural world, I’m all in for my outdoor workouts. I work through so many challenges, problems, and I get super creative. It is so de-stressing and the feeling is awesome! I think if you give it a try, it’s very meditative and calming. If you go into a workout with the attitude of having to just get through it and get it over with, it may not hook you. And I would hate for you to miss out on that unreal feeling of not only being done but feeling inspired to do it again and and again, and be connected to nature and the outdoors. Plus you never know who you may meet along the way.
Enjoy!
There’s athletic, fun balance training like this for surfers and golfers to name a few. And then there’s also crucial balance training like standing on one leg, and walking and navigating twists and turns outside on sidewalks, while gardening, etc. I make sure my clients, regardless of their age, train balance skills to prevent falls because this can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
