Monday Workout: Choose the right squats



This week we continue to work with multi-joint exercises and exercises that emphasize the core and balance.  Making our everyday squats into overhead squats with weights challenges our alignment and requires more effort; doing them as jump squats increases the cardio load and improves our landing mechanics for everyday activities.  Please keep in mind that doing supported squats, as with TRX or with a ball against a wall may be more appropriate for those of us with difficult knees:  we have to work out safely or we end up unable to work out at all.  Three rounds.
