Squat Clinic

Hows your squat??? Ass to Grass?? Just as we should eat the foods our bodies were designed to eat, we should move our bodies the way they were meant to move and impose the stressors they were meant to bear. That means squatting, and squatting often. Our hips flex, knees bend, and ankles dorsiflex so that we can rest comfortably in a squat position. Squatting is the one fundamental movement we were all born to do with ease however years of sitting in office chairs, wearing heels & moving badly have left the majority of us with an inability to maintain a good squat and a bad squat means two things – injury & no gains (so no booty!!)

We are delighted to announce the Kettlebelle Squat Clinic – in conjunction with Pinnacle Movement – Crossfit 536 and Physio Kinetics.

 

 

This 4 hour clinic is ideal for anyone who wants to improve their squat from total beginner to seasoned gym goer!
