Staying Strong and Healthy Squats
In this video in the Staying Strong and Healthy video series, Dreu White, exercise physiologist at KU Medical Center, teaches proper form for a body weight squat. This video is part of the Staying Strong and Healthy Prostate Cancer intervention.
1. Form is everything! Chest up, shoulders back, knees aligned with toes.
2. Go deep! Aim for thighs parallel to the ground or lower.
3. Hinge at the hips! Engage those glutes and hamstrings.
4. Modifications: Partial squats or chair support for those who need it.
Discover practical exercises you can do at home in the Staying Strong and Healthy app and video series. Let’s prioritize health together!
