Скачать или смотреть Stabilize Your FEET For Better Squats

Can you hold this position for 25 seconds without falling over? If not, this could be an indication of poor foot stability!

When squatting without adequate stability from your feet, your body will seek it elsewhere, leading to compensations that can cause excessive stress on the lower back and other areas. To improve your foot stability, there are two things you can do!

First, try the leaning tower drill. Spread your toes and root into the ground. Through the ankles, move the centre of mass forward onto your toes and then back onto your heels, making your foot as big as possible. Practicing this will help you better control the thrust line of the weight when you squat.

Second, pay attention to how you distribute your weight as you’re squatting. Before you squat down, grip the floor with your feet and spread your weight across these three points: your heel, and the base of your 1st and 5th toe. When you squat, make sure each of these three points remain in contact with the ground with your weight distributed evenly among them.

Do these two things and your foot stability will improve in no time! Follow for more tips like this!
