  • I can do this but I cannot keep my heels on the floor, my feet go on tip toes. Does this mean I'm not doing it right. my legs will literally not go down unless on tip toes, and I don't want to injure the back of my legs.

  • @wickywhite Just go as far as you can WITHOUT your heels lifting. It may be that your ankle mobility is limited. Try some calf stretches and ankle mobility exercies. If you put the weight through your toes it puts extra stress on your knees and quads. Also, try varying your foot position - as long as your knees don't drop too far in or out.

    Hiya, there's a few things you can do but it may not just be the hips. Limited ankle mobility can play a big part in getting to the bottom range of a deep squat (ever seen people squatting with blocks under their heels?)

    Check out my knee strengthening exercise video - that will help with ankle mobility...

    And I'll record a couple of new videos with some hip mobilisers and post them shortly... Watch this space.

    :-)
