Is It Safe to Squat?
What you need to know about Corrective Exercise
You may have heard that squats can be considered a corrective exercise. But beware! Not all people are prepared to complete squats and weighted squats safely. Corrective exercises can be used to help improve the overall quality of movement, not only in workouts but in every day life.
Tips:
•Be cautious when weight training and lifting at the gym. Pain and injury can come from poor form when completing exercises.
•Consult with a personal training.
Be aware:
Some injuries are caused by lifting too much weight or completing too many reps when you’re not aware of the correct form.
Did you know?:
Weight training is much more than big lifting. It requires you to establish the best program for yourself, keeping your mobility and core strength in mind.
When cleared in the gym for squatting or lifting, then squat away. But if you’re dealing with pain, then consult with personal trainer to help you find safer and more appropriate alternatives to use while exercising.
