Four Quick Ways To “Fix” Your Squat

Ask any trainer what their biggest form pet peeve is? Almost always, it’s squats. It drives us crazy, lol. Men & women alike. Beginners & advanced alike. Squats are always high on the list for biggest fitness offenders.

Squats are all about the booty, but many people feel it in their quads more. While your quads are doing some of the work, overcompensation for improper form may put too much strain on the front of the thigh (and knees) instead of the back of the thigh (booty, hamstrings). A few quick fixes can help put the work back where it belongs. :)

YOUR FEET ROLL IN

If your feet “roll in” (knees tend to lean in for a kiss as you squat), you’re probably putting too much strain on them (hence why many people worry about their knees when they squat). If this happens, try to spread the floor apart with your feet: imagine trying to smooth out a wrinkled towel that you’re standing on. This usually rights the issue, but it will feel uncomfortable at first. It gets easier with practice.

I call these, “Pistol Squats”


Find your balance on one leg and slowly squat down. This move is actually pretty tough. I can only do 5 reps at a time. If you can’t do this, just stick to regular squats with both feet on the ground.

This move will strengthen your balance, core, quads, glutes, and hamstrings.

My right leg is definitely weaker haha.

…Oh my GOD. I wish I could do this!!
