On May 6, 2020, fitness enthusiasts were offered advice on how to work on their deep squat, a fundamental exercise for strength and flexibility.
For those who find the deep squat uncomfortable or struggle to lower their heels, several simple assists can make a big difference. Holding onto something secure while doing the exercise is a good starting point.
Another helpful tip is to place a rolled-up towel under your heels for support. This can provide the necessary stability to help you lower yourself into a deeper squat.
For added safety, consider sitting on a yoga block to avoid falling backward during the movement.
Consistency is key when it comes to mastering the deep squat. Practicing the exercise daily, even if it's just for a minute, can help you gradually increase your range of motion and become more comfortable with the movement.
