Squat Hops Down Stairs - Parkour Training and Conditioning Exercise

[BurntBassMan]

Is landing/ squatting on the balls on your feet not bad for your knees as your knees track beyond your toes? Seems to be a lot of conflicting opinions on this, so I'm interested to hear your take on things!

What are the best shoes for Parkour for under $50?

dont know if this comment has been posted before.. but isn't it bad for your joints to get passed the 90 degree angle?

squats are so bad for your knees

[dantemustdie94]

I don't discuss things with people over the internet, but I have to ask where you learned this information. What sources/ scientific studies?

[billabonggable]

it's called a health resort (Pritikin) in Florida

[dantemustdie94]

Well I think it's time you look at other resources on the pros and cons of doing squats. Instead of just listening to what they tell you at Pritikin and deciding to tell other people on the internet because it can spread misinformation.

actually they are not. When a squat is performed in the correct motion it has many healing benefits for the knee. I know this because I come from a knee injury. I tore my meniscus(cartilage) bruised all of marrow, and i cracked my tibia. When i started doing squats on a regular basis all my knee pain went away. This happens because when a squat is properly done it sends on fresh blood to the knee cleaning it out and helping with circulation to the actual joint If u need more information research

ha i came from a knee injury too, i tour a ligament in my knee, my doctor told me to never do squats

[robattire]

Having a torn ligament doesnt mean no squatting anymore. Football playes, olympic lifters/power lifters/strong men go through these things and they still squat and lift. They use knee braces for the heavier weights, but they build their ligaments strength back up. Now i obviously don't know your exact condition, but i would seriously recommend seeing a doctor in kinesiology who specializes in athletic rehabilitation. These people will know the best possible route to getting you to squat again.

[robattire]

a doctor can tell you anything. In the 80's and 90's doctors told us fat was bad, now we know that trans/saturated fat is bad and that mono and poly-unsaturated fats are good for the body. People will always say many things, but it all comes down to the science and how movements when performed correctly. You should really do some more research on the topic and talk to athletic doctors. Old school doctors will always say squatting is bad for the knees.

I think you should jump to the next step on every squat

[Klaxxorz]

I do these all the time at home on my stairs, but it can get noisy if you have old wooden stairs.

Make sure you are breathing properly! Start out easy and be sure to stop if you feel any dizziness.

[Reneator]

@DemonDrills Therefore it isnt good to feel dizzy/tired and exhausted, while doing sports?

Happened to me sometimes when doing fitness, and those are the trainings, i dont remember positively.
