Evolve: Perfect Squatting

It is true... we were born to squat well! My nephew started playing in the tan-bark and as he reached for the small pieces of bark, without any instruction, he practiced perfect squatting. Perfect squatting is innate! The following is observed:

Stance: 

• Feet about shoulder with apart
• Toes slightly turned out

Decent to the bottom of the squat:

• Straight back and big chest

Bottom of the squat:

• Straight back/Big chest through entire movement
• Knees slightly behind toes
• Slight forward angle of the shin
• Feet planted firmly on the ground

Rise of the squat to stand:

• Push the floor away with your feet and extend hips to neutral stance

Happy squatting!
