Squats! So easy a child can do them! ? North Jersey Health & Fitness

?

?A quick fact about squats: squatting below parallel is not only NOT bad for your knees, but they are actually good for them. Why? Because squatting above parallel actually results in putting unnatural stress on your knees. By not allowing the quads, hips, hamstrings, and glutes to perform the complete range of motion, it creates muscular imbalances that produce shearing forces on the knees. In other words, not squatting below parallel is what?s really bad for your knees and it?s full squats that will actually increase knee joint stability (when performed correctly).

The only way squats can be bad for your knees is if you don?t work on your form. That?s why when it comes to this exercise you have to leave your ego at the door before you set foot in the gym. It?s not about how heavy you can squat, but how heavy you can squat WITH GOOD FORM.?
