But toddlers do know squat.
Adults in the modern world struggle to remain in a flat footed, low squat position only for a minute. Our bodies have become too domesticated from years of sitting on chairs for hours each day.
Squating is a foundational movement to "re-wild" our bodies.
Here's a great instructional video on a progression toward the flat footed, full squat. Funny how he explains how bad sitting is for us while he's sitting. But let's give the guy a break. At least he can do a full squat for an entire minute!
Reminder: Do not squat if your knees buckle in (valgus).
We document and share a catalog of movements. This blog and the videos are for entertainment purposes only. Please seek guidance from a certified instructor to be sure you move with proper biomechanics and safety.
