\nMyths about squats that must stop!
\nThree myths I still hear about squatting (there’s a lot more but these bug me the most) <\/p>\n
1. Squats are bad for the knees. <\/p>\n
2. Smith machine squats are safer than regular squats. <\/p>\n
3. Squats are bad for the back. <\/p>\n
Main takeaways: <\/p>\n
\n
Squats done properly are good for the knees, as well as the metabolism and your entire musculature system!<\/li>\n

Motivation<\/b> <\/p>\n
Start the wheels of
\nsupport in motion!
\nWho is that outside objective
\nperson who can help? This may be a personal friend or someone you haven’t
\nmet, or someone you follow on social media or someone you want to
\nmeet who can help you. <\/p>\n
Knowing your
\nexpectations makes a difference AND telling your support group what
\nyou need and expect keeps them from guessing and enables them to
\ntruly help you.<\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n
Nutrition<\/b> <\/p>\n
Wondering where to start? First start with a food log and calculate your calories and grams of protein, carbs and fats. <\/p>\n
If your body isn’t changing and you
\nthink you are doing everything right, then the answer is one of two
\nthings: Either<\/p>\n
\n
You are not doing what you think you are in terms
\nof workout frequency and intensity or<\/li>\n
You are not doing what you
\nthink you are in terms of food intake-substance and timing. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
If you fall into the \u201cI’ve been doing
\nit all and still don’t see changes\u201d category, then do the log or do a program with me!<\/a> <\/p>\n
