Squats are one of the most essential movements in fitness, benefiting everything from strength building to mobility and even daily function. I recently contributed to an article on LoseIt.com that breaks down how to do the perfect squat: How to Do the Perfect Squat. The article dives into the mechanics of proper form, offering tips to help you move safely and effectively.
Why is squatting properly so important? For starters, it engages multiple muscle groups, including your glutes, quads, and core, while supporting overall joint health. However, improper form can lead to discomfort or even injury over time, which is why taking the time to master the technique is so valuable. Squats are not just for gym goers. This movement is foundational for everyday tasks like standing up, bending down, and even maintaining balance as we age.
At AIM Athletic, we emphasize movement quality across all of our training programs, including small group sessions, one on one training, and active rehabilitation. Teaching proper squat mechanics helps our members get stronger, reduce the risk of injury, and improve functional movement. Whether you are new to squatting or working to refine your form, this movement can make a big difference in your overall fitness.
Take a look at the article for more insights into perfecting your squat, and remember that focusing on proper technique now will set you up for long term success in your workouts and daily life.
