They say a pert bottom can look as good as a ripe peach.  Maybe yours doesn’t and so you want to tone up those bum muscles?  One of the BEST bottom toning exercises is the Squat.  But sometimes people find that squats cause knee pain.

Find out here how to do Knee Friendly Squats. 

Squats can be done in so many ways.  Squats are brilliant for toning legs, back & butt. As such they also can raise metabolic rate and can make your body into a fat-burning machine.  They are often a main-stay of a good balanced workout for both fat loss and muscle tone.
But they can be done well …. and not so well. So some folks find that they cause or exacerbate knee pain.  So with a Fitness Trainer job like mine I find ways to continually work on knee pain prevention … both for myself and for my amazing ladies.
My short video today will help you to Squat more safely!
  1. Start small ( at the top of the movement)
  2. Wear supportive footwear that helps to prevent pronation, or feet / knees “falling inwards”.
  3. Feet at 10 to 2 initially.  Then vary once strength is established.
  4. Listen to your body and stop if any pain worsens.
