How it works
Squats are one of the most fundamental and important movement patterns we as humans can do. Or, should be able to do. The trouble is, as we get older and most of us begin spending more and more time sitting for hours in unnatural things like chairs, our ability to get into a deep body weight squat severely diminishes. If you stop doing a movement, your CNS eventually decides you don’t need to do it, and it shuts off your ability to do so. This tends to be the issue with flexibility too - we have it within us, but the CNS just needs some convincing. Squats will improve almost every aspect of your mobility, from your ankles to your hips and your spine, and it will benefit you in various areas of your health and fitness. With a bit of practice, everyone should be able to get comfortably into this position, well into older age.
