I can't squat cause my knees hurt!!!

If your doctor tells you not to squat due to pain in yopur knees then most likely you are squating wrong. A correct squat is the best exercise the human can do if done correctly. The squat utilizes core and larger stabilizing musculature needed to maintain proper function. When performing the squat you should focus on these key concepts. BOX SQUAT 1) Head up, chest out, feet slightly wider than shoulder width, toes pointed slightly outward. 2) Arms go out when going down to balance center of gravity 3) Wgt should be focused on heels 4) Knee should not be over the toes on the descend 5) Explode from sitting on parallel box position back to standing while bringing arms to side and squeezing the butt tilting the pelvis anterior.
