Hindu Squat, www.power-fitness.info

[EYEZIC]

Most people can't balance themselves to do them. I do these exclusively on leg days to failure, nothing works better.

[RockyBaIboa]

is it true that hindu squats are bad for your knees?

[fvboss429]

that's how they whipe their butts

looooool funny nice exercise

[joebg1]

looks like tai chi in the kung fu movies. lol.

I started doing them long ago, but stopped working out for over a year(gained 50 lbs).

Picking myself up now.

I remember they were pretty good at making me bust a sweat!

peace!

I have plantars fascitis and I wear orthodotics I am suppose to wear them 24/7. will this be effective with tennis shoes on and if I can't raise my heel very high

[SilvrDragon52]

A crucial and unmentioned part of this exercise is to exhale on the way down, and inhale when standing and bringing in your arms

@SilvrDragon52

Thanks SilvrDragon, I haven't heard that before.

[DarthVil]

Thank you! This is very helpful. I have the book, but have some difficulty with the diagram. Seeing it in full motion is a big help. Oddly, I can only do about 15 Hindu Squats right now, but I can do the wall sit for a full minute.

[animaasharma]

will this exercise help me to get rid of my fats on my thighs?

[yakamatsu]

nope....only a good nutrition can do that

[WhindSoull]

Fat burns equally across the whole body when working out. For example, doing sit-ups doesn't take fat off of the belly more than anywhere else. You may see a localized improvement from better muscle tone, however.

animaasharma,

Listen to yakamatsu on having GOOD NUTRITION (40%Carb, 30%Protein, and 30%Fat) first!

Anyhow, this is one of the favorite excerise of Bruce Lee, and it is for the POWER TRAINING not for BULKY MUSCLE SIZE!

[TruthSearcher4ever]

i have knee problem now because i do them on the sole of the foot,what can i do?

[czubul]

stop doing them until the knee problem goes away...

[TruthSearcher4ever]

it's the cap of my knee which is making noise,i heard it's not a problem because a lot of people has that.

[lifeis4fools]

It's actually good for your knees and ankles. But you MUST do it correctly or you may injure yourself, breathing is an integral part of this exercise and must also be done correctly. This is a great exercise, so do it and have fun!

[Rangepaw]

How is that on your knees?
