Squat Sets

7min:35sec. A basic progression of squatting exercises. Begin with no weight, slowly progress up to more and more weight… stick with what you can tolerate while keeping good form. Squats are sometimes considered “The King of Exercises” do some today! πŸ™‚

00:00:01.600 –> 00:00:04.600
Okay through the magic of video editing. I’m now

1
00:00:04.600 –> 00:00:07.300
wearing a shirt that’s a little more snug fitting so

2
00:00:07.300 –> 00:00:10.500
it can pay more close attention to the proper mechanics

3
00:00:10.500 –> 00:00:13.900
one maintaining the proper lumbar curvature

4
00:00:13.900 –> 00:00:14.500
two.

5
00:00:16.100 –> 00:00:19.100
Knees are not going to go in front of the toes. I’m working on a bit

6
00:00:19.100 –> 00:00:22.600
of a hill here. That’s the added difficulty, but we’re not going to worry about that. We’re just

7
00:00:22.600 –> 00:00:25.700
going to get right to okay. So if you’re doing this at home, maybe you’re

8
00:00:25.700 –> 00:00:27.100
grabbing onto a

9
00:00:28.100 –> 00:00:29.600
Kitchen counter we’re going down.

10
00:00:30.500 –> 00:00:31.300
and up

11
00:00:32.700 –> 00:00:35.600
And up once again. The chair behind us more

12
00:00:35.600 –> 00:00:38.500
for queuing can be for safety offs as well.

13
00:00:40.500 –> 00:00:40.900
three

14
00:00:42.500 –> 00:00:43.000
four

15
00:00:45.400 –> 00:00:45.700
five

16
00:00:47.200 –> 00:00:50.400
Focus right here that butt goes backwards. You’re looking

17
00:00:50.400 –> 00:00:51.700
up shoulders back.

18
00:00:53.100 –> 00:00:53.300
six

19
00:00:54.600 –> 00:00:57.100
squeezing those glutes squeezing those legs

20
00:00:58.300 –> 00:00:59.000
three more

21
00:01:00.400 –> 00:01:01.300
seven

22
00:01:02.400 –> 00:01:05.400
nice and slow 8

23
00:01:08.900 –> 00:01:09.600
nine

24
00:01:11.400 –> 00:01:14.300
Let’s be just a little bit mean here at the bottom pump it

25
00:01:14.300 –> 00:01:17.700
one two, three, four five.

26
00:01:18.700 –> 00:01:19.700
and squeeze up

27
00:01:20.500 –> 00:01:23.400
squeeze tight tight. Okay now walk

28
00:01:23.400 –> 00:01:24.100
it out just for a second.

29
00:01:25.100 –> 00:01:27.500
Just for a second. Okay now?

30
00:01:28.500 –> 00:01:31.200
We’re gonna step it up a little bit right here. I’ve got a jug

31
00:01:31.200 –> 00:01:34.000
with some gravel in here. This is weighed out

32
00:01:34.100 –> 00:01:37.200
to be eight pounds. That is the amount of a jug of

33
00:01:37.200 –> 00:01:41.000
water one gallon of water one gallon of milk, something like that. Okay once

34
00:01:40.000 –> 00:01:41.100
again,

35
00:01:42.400 –> 00:01:44.300
Feet little white and shoulders width.

36
00:01:45.200 –> 00:01:47.800
But back maintain that proper spinal curvature.

37
00:01:48.400 –> 00:01:51.200
Come down. You want to distribute the weight into both

38
00:01:51.200 –> 00:01:51.500
hands?

39
00:01:52.600 –> 00:01:54.200
evenly nice and low

40
00:01:55.200 –> 00:01:56.700
squeeze one

41
00:01:59.900 –> 00:02:00.100
two

42
00:02:03.400 –> 00:02:06.200
three. I feel like this way to stop me

43
00:02:06.200 –> 00:02:09.100
before I can get quite low enough. So I’m gonna curl it

44
00:02:09.100 –> 00:02:10.400
back a little bit so I can go a little deeper.

45
00:02:11.600 –> 00:02:12.400
Bye.

46
00:02:15.100 –> 00:02:15.500
six

47
00:02:18.600 –> 00:02:21.300
seven all the way up squeeze not too

48
00:02:21.300 –> 00:02:22.500
fast, not too fast.

49
00:02:25.200 –> 00:02:28.800
8 squeeze those shoulders back you’re looking up shoulders

50
00:02:28.800 –> 00:02:29.100
back.

51
00:02:29.900 –> 00:02:30.500
maintaining

52
00:02:31.700 –> 00:02:33.200
That proper curvature right there.

53
00:02:35.500 –> 00:02:36.000
nine

54
00:02:39.300 –> 00:02:39.900
Pump It Again

55
00:02:40.700 –> 00:02:44.000
One two three, four five.

56
00:02:43.500 –> 00:02:47.000
Oh, okay good.

57
00:02:48.600 –> 00:02:49.800
So we’ve done 10.

58
00:02:50.700 –> 00:02:53.500
With only our body weight. We’ve done 10 with

59
00:02:53.500 –> 00:02:56.000
an 8 pound jug now we’re going to step it up just a little

60
00:02:56.000 –> 00:02:56.200
bit.

61
00:02:57.600 –> 00:03:00.500
Then we’ll step it up a little more if you if you’re

62
00:03:00.500 –> 00:03:04.000
able to step it up and able to do some with an eight pound jug of

63
00:03:03.200 –> 00:03:06.900
water or weight. Very good. If you’re

64
00:03:06.900 –> 00:03:09.700
able to step it up, I’m going to do some with the 25 then very

65
00:03:09.700 –> 00:03:12.400
good. Otherwise, you just do another set

66
00:03:12.400 –> 00:03:16.000
with me holding on to your kitchen sink that rear

67
00:03:15.200 –> 00:03:16.800
end going back into the chair.

68
00:03:18.400 –> 00:03:18.600
See here.

69
00:03:20.100 –> 00:03:23.000
I’m maintaining the proper curvature even when maneuvering.

70
00:03:24.400 –> 00:03:27.200
All kinds of Weights including like luggage on the

71
00:03:27.200 –> 00:03:28.800
go groceries. Okay. Here we go.

72
00:03:29.700 –> 00:03:33.500
Feet knees back down grasp the

73
00:03:33.500 –> 00:03:33.700
weight.

74
00:03:34.600 –> 00:03:35.200
Look up.

75
00:03:36.400 –> 00:03:38.500
shoulders back squeeze one

76
00:03:41.400 –> 00:03:41.600
two

77
00:03:45.300 –> 00:03:46.000
three

78
00:03:47.800 –> 00:03:48.600
not too fast.

79
00:03:50.500 –> 00:03:53.300
Or you want to control where those

80
00:03:53.300 –> 00:03:56.000
knees go, don’t let them bow in towards the center.

81
00:03:56.900 –> 00:03:58.200
Don’t let them wobble out.

82
00:03:59.200 –> 00:04:00.700
Don’t let him go too far forward.

83
00:04:01.800 –> 00:04:03.300
That body has to fold forward.

84
00:04:04.400 –> 00:04:05.000
but maintain

85
00:04:06.100 –> 00:04:07.000
that curve right there.

86
00:04:10.400 –> 00:04:13.700
Call that seven kind of lost lost track of the account, but

87
00:04:13.700 –> 00:04:15.100
it doesn’t matter precisely.

88
00:04:17.000 –> 00:04:17.200
eight

89
00:04:20.000 –> 00:04:20.200

Good.

99
00:04:46.700 –> 00:04:49.600
straighten out that shirt so you can continue to see the

100
00:04:51.900 –> 00:04:54.700
Correct lumbar, lordotic curvature.

101
00:04:54.700 –> 00:04:55.600
Very good.

102
00:04:57.100 –> 00:04:58.300
Going to take just a moment here.

103
00:04:59.500 –> 00:05:02.200
If you got a lot of extra energy, maybe you can

104
00:05:02.200 –> 00:05:05.200
do a set of push-ups right now or just lock it out with me. Okay.

105
00:05:05.200 –> 00:05:09.200
Let’s try something just up on one leg. Three, two one
