    @HppyCmpr are u making sure ur knees never go past the tips of your toes? Keeping back straight while sticking your butt out behind u :)

    SPAM TIME!! :smiley:
    Quick reminder! Always pay attention to what your body is telling you! If your knees hurt, stop what you are doing and reassess. When you do a regular squat your knees should never go past the tips of your toes. Your weight should be on your heels (I can wiggle my toes when I'm in squat position). Butt pushed out with core tight and back straight. When coming up from squat tense your butt muscles for best results! Do not lock your knees tight when you come up.
    In this video she shows you great form posture.
    With weights I only have been using my 15lbs curl bar on my shoulders, or 7lbs hand weights at my sides. But when I get sore over the course of my sets I end up with no weights and my hands out in front of me for better balance :)

    This guy shows you a few different variations of none weighted squats u can try out to keep variation in your squats! His knees get pretty close to going past his toes so keep an eye on that. But there are some type of squats where that does happen. So if you have bad knees, don't do those lol.
    One they didn't show is leg lifts. Do a regular squat then put your weight on one leg, and kick the other to the side. Controlled balanced kick. Don't need to be falling now :P
