As soon as many people enter the gym, they hear that they want to practice their legs, and those who don't practice their legs will be impotent sooner or later. Say how good it is to squat.
It's good to practice this movement. Therefore, many fitness whites, even some people who have had fitness experience, blindly do squats.
However, squatting is another movement that requires great skill and experience.
A person who hasn't learned this movement rashly does this movement, which may not only fail to exercise muscles, but also harm the practitioner's body. Especially the damage to joints is almost irreversible.
The first weak point is the knee joint, or several injuries are all on the knee joint. The most common thing is that the center of gravity is too far ahead, which leads to excessive pressure on the knee joint.
Simply put, your knees are too far forward. At this time, most people's body center of gravity is on the front foot palm.
When squatting, I obviously feel that my knees are very uncomfortable and even have obvious pain. This is the first mistake.
People who make such mistakes can easily be unable to participate in fitness activities or even run because of knee injuries.
The second mistake is also common, that is, the knee is buckled when squatting. This situation is very common in people who challenge their limit weight and people who have more than one can chew.
When doing a force that is difficult for us to squat, letting our knees buckle inward can make our strength a little more sufficient and achieve the purpose of squatting.
But some people don't know it's dangerous, so they do it during exercise. Leading to lateral ligament injury and meniscus injury of the knee joint. People with such injuries should never squat down or say goodbye to the gym.
The third common mistake is occasionally seen, when squatting, the toes buckle to the ground or the toes lean forward. Many people are surprised, because tiptoe forward can also hurt the body? In fact, the risk of injury to the knee joint is also great.
Our knee joint determines that when we stand normally, our feet will have a slight external phenomenon. When we stand on tiptoe inside the figure of eight. Our knee joint will bear some extra forces, which will pull our knee meniscus.
If we do the wrong posture, our knees will bear more weight when doing squats. Meniscus tear is very easy. Once this happens, basically bid farewell to the movement.
You know, the meniscus is not like other tissues in our body. Once injured, it is difficult to recover. Therefore, it is good to practice legs and squats, but you must learn squats well and exercise seriously.
