    1. Sit deeper as you can in your lower position; 2. Find comfortable position of your foots and laps; 3. Stand up; 4. Yeap, this is your optimal position for squats, cause you have comfortable position in the lowest part of it. Have a nice day)

    Went to look this up for my job as a janitor. See, I wanted to squat instead of bending down when cleaning toilets, but I also didn’t want to mess up my knees more from bad lunges in high school. Plus, I was concerned if I leaned forward too much that could mess something up. However, it looks like and feels like I’m doing it right considering I feel stable and only feel sore and not pain. Sore as in my unfit ass actually doing physical work.😅

    Many great tutorials here on KZread. My favorite exercise is put a coin under where the big toe attaches to foot and try to move it closer to you without rising you foot. The coin is not really necessary but it may help. You'll activate those key feet muscles Then focus on every step through your day. Take small steps and rotate your legs outward slightly as the foot is in touch with ground, the point here is to support the arch. May feel a little like learning walking again but it's all right Toe spacers improve stability of foot, not necessarily weak arches but try to push your knees outward from big toe. This is great for knees because naturally our legs are curved and lack of support from feet increase unnecessary load on knees
