Squat Without Knee Pain
This past week the Vintage Fitness personal training team watched a number of people in the Vintage community do squats after they complained about knee pain. I noticed a few common errors that I wanted to address to take the strain off the knees when you squat.
Few squatting tips:
- Squat into a chair to help to ensure that you are sticking your butt out when you squat
- Keep your knees lined up with your ankles—don’t let them track forward
- Stand tall at the top of every squat to work on your posture as well as leg strength
- Do quarter squats at the bottom, mid-range, and top of the movement to add variety and challenge.

What Should I do now?
Good Luck!
