________________________________________
When we squat, the knee needs to stay in perfect alignment with the toes. Any wobble from this position decreases our ability to produce strength and power. Instability also causes harmful forces to be placed on the structures deep inside our knee. This instability not only decreases our potential for performance but also increases our susceptibility for injury.

I did these exercises yesterday and today when I was walking I already felt my glute firing. I’m excited to fix this issue and get my squats as powerful as possible! Thank you 🙏🏻

I went to Iyengar yoga years ago to fix an issue with my hand. What i learnt is how much everything stems from developing awareness to balance in the feet. Needless to say i fixed my issue and helped the rest of my body too!

reemphasizing the points, you made in the how to squat video with the multiple steps. I feel like people should watch that and try to get the mechanics down there before watching this video itself.

I've been trying to squat for half a year now, because I was too scared to try alone and hurt myself when I started the gym. Now I think i can squat ok and can squat deep but I start to feel a lot in my knees after my set. Always thought It was mobility so I did mobility exercises everytime I would do leg day. So now it seems it is stability causing the problem. I realised my knees caves in when going up. I will try thoses exercises from now on. I really want to have a good form, I do think about it all the time so I can lift safetly. But it is much harder than it seems and takes so much time, nobody talks about it. Thank you so much for giving us so much information ! Maybe then I can start to lift heavier by the end of this year :) I am 67 kg (girl), squat 50-55 kg, my goal this year is reaching 60-70 kg

Wow. I just tried a few reps of squats with your recommendations and i can't believe the difference I felt, I have been rolling onto the outside of my feet to try to overcome valgus and thought it didn't feel right..thank you so much!

I definitely needed to see this video. My squat form is terrible but this is the exact thing I feel I've been struggling with.

Wow thank you SO much. I've experienced knee cave like this so I'm goimg to try these out. I appreciated what you said about not always driving knees out too much if you then roll onto outer feet. This happened to me being a bit to over enthusiastic with that in a deep sweat and I strained my knee from it. Foot stability!!! Really really love and appreciate your videos super helpful

Í follow some very good fitness channels and I have never heard an explanation about strength vs stability. Very interesting! Thank you, and keep up the good videos :)
