One simple trick to make crouching down and squatting EASIER

- One simple trick can help ☝🏽
When you squat or crouch down, pay attention, what joint do you bend first? For many people, it’s the knees 🦵🏽
This is one of the main reasons why crouching can be so uncomfortable and why it can can feel difficult or awkward 👀
I see this SO often. Which is interesting because most people use their hips first when they sit in a chair. But without the chair, the knees bend first 🤔
Trying 8-10 repetitions of these squat with a press out can be helpful so your body gets used to moving in this way ☝🏽
Every other day can be a great habit to start with for most people. If things painful for you, try using a chair first. Sit down in the chair while pressing the object out in front ➡️
Whether you have knee arthritis, back pain, hip arthritis or simply just difficulty crouching down- this tip can be incredibly helpful ✅

Not medical advice. Try at your own risk.
Yes, your knees will still bend- it’s about what bends FIRST and where you shift your weight. Focus on bending at the hips first.
I personally suffer from backpain and when bowing down to pick something up always stand on one leg and counterbalance with the other by lifting it horizontally and thus the knee doesn't bend very much at all.
Thank you for this tip 👍!
I just tried your squatting suggestions and it worked fabulously! Using my hips first made things feel smooth and easy. Thank you!
Thanks
Hope your low back is strong
You are simply the best. I was paralysed 4 yrs ago. I learnt to walk again with sticks. The a yr ago I had a dreadful fall and did my knees in. I’m in constant pain. My pain killers make me sleep a lot and I haven’t been able to do exercises. I am now in a wheel chair. However I find your exercises are much easier because you explain everything so well. I love your voice and I feel you are my personal trainer and it encourages me to do more and better. Thank you with all my heart and sole. I’m determined to get out of the wheel chair. 🥰👍😇🇳🇿
Thank you so much for sharing and I appreciate the kind words on how I provide explanations. Best of luck on your journey.
Then weight mainly in heels is also a help too or me.
There are peer reviewed articles on raw sesame oil helps knee pain. I use it, it helps, but may need to be reapplied. I use extra at night. I hope you feel better :) Note: it does not seem to work in other areas. :(
The first bend looks the same as the corrected bend except for having your arm out to reach, which you would need to do. Compare them.
@@joannaquanttumphysics sesame seed oil? Humm, thank you. I will give it a try.
I have used castor oil and its amazing, but thick.
Coconut oil with boswellia oil.
I remember my grandmother used to use the butter wraps on her skin and olive oil.
What a great tip thank you very much. 🙏💐
You're welcome!
Ditto!
Yeah, tell those females how to get on their knees cause I’m not buying “I’m on the pill”. ⚜️
Personal trainer here…. This is EXACTLY what I teach my clients. Word for word.
Thank you for confirming...
because it is nothing new
This does make a difference. I had no idea - but then I'm not a Physiotherapist 😉 thanks Alyssa 🇦🇺
@@duncansmith5559it is to lots of people hearing this for the first time
Is it really your hips that take the load? Wouldn’t it be your hamstrings?
🏋🏽♂️thank you! Your legs look great strong.🫵🏽👍🏽
Welcome!!!
That's all I could focus on... Her muscles look great!
The tan too. Damn
I didn't have anything to hold while I tried this so I just put my hands together. I followed your instruction and wow...what an amazing difference, thank you
Glad it helped!
Just try holding a basket or a metal bowl.
I grabbed the cat's hairbrush. 😊

What a difference this makes! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thanks for the tip! I do this exersise in my silver sneakers class. I didn't know this actually helps taking the load off of the knees...I thought it was to strengthen the thigh muscles. The instructor doesn't say why we are doing a certain exersise
You're welcome! That's what I like to do in the videos. I want the community to understand the movements and why they are important.
I experience the same thing with instructets not explaining why we are doing a certain ecersise. They should be trained to do this! This bending down to pick something up is good for your back too. Always keeping the back straight..good body mechanics is what I learned in Nursing School.
I didn't say the comment that starts with " Thanks for the tip" It was someone elses comment!!!
Una buena musculatura ayuda a aliviar la carga en articulaciones puesto que se responsabiliza de mayor parte de la carga.
Learning how to squat properly has saved my knees from injury!
Well said.
Thank you! I needed to hear/see this to help me.
I also find and if you spread your legs apart and reach down, it also makes it easier to grab things off the floor.
Exactly
A sumo squat!
Thank for this great demonstration, I have tried it twice and showed my husband as well. It worked for me❤❤❤
that's great!
Thank you. I was just talking to my son about how crouching was getting hard for me and then an hour later I find this short video. Since crouching is necessary for me I will be taking your advice.
Great advice! So simple and efficient when you become aware of how to do it! This helped me a lot - thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! Your tips make all the difference.
You're so welcome!
Thank You!!! Got Right Up and Tried This!!!!! Worked Great!!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
I was just taught this in PT! Sure helps too when using a short toilet!
I discovered that it is possible to buy "risers" for low toilets, and after I started using one, I had immediate relief on the stress on my knees. (The risers are relatively inexpensive.)
Yesss Alyssa... just a little up different focus... and everything changed... Waalaahh... and by the way... after 3 months I,ve been practicing most of your exercise... Now I start doing a mild hiking...and by the next 4 months ... I,m sure,that I will be trekking and hiking again... 😊🎉🎉thank you so much for all the video..
Oh my gosh! That is so awesome. So glad you are seeing life changing results.
Thank you .Your videos are so helpful 😊
Thanks for the useful tip .
Welcome!
Wow this is great thanks thumbs up!
... wow... just so you know, you are now my hero. Not because this was new information, but because you are doing something I have been thinking about doing but have felt incredibly uncomfortable with trying to express. I wanna make easy to see videos about self care to help my friends and family, but it feels weird to record myself.
Thank you.
You can share them these videos! Glad you like the channel.
Thank you, thank you a lot ❤
Welcome!
Thank you. Spreading your legs sideways also gets you closer to the floor.
Great advice, I found this very good and most helpful, thank you.
You're very welcome!
I have the biggest problem with bending doing and back pain, we need more information like this simple tips thank you. I’ve had back pain since a kid
You're so welcome!
I don't have to bend my knees to pick anything up off the floor because even though I'm not as flexible as I would like to be, I can touch my fingertips to the floor so that's not really a problem.
That won't help if you have to reach under a low shelf !
It looks very subtle, but as an old dude with arthritis, I'll give it a try and see if it makes any difference.
Luv this! Thank you dear!
Love this. I need this to get stuff off the floor
Thank You !!!!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you!! I always use the bend-it lift, don't use your back, and at 59, my knees are getting stuff. I will MOST definitely use this! Thank you again! 💕
You're so welcome!
Love your explanation 👌 👏 👍
Glad you liked it!
I practiced this with just getting things out of my walker (and putting things in) and when I dropped anything, using this method also gave me more confidence with less tremors in my ankles and knees. I'm partially paralysed in all 4 limbs, and have tremors in my hands, ankles and knees. I'm able to do most things, just not very well. The spinal compression I have was caused by osteoarthritis. I came back to subscribe to the channel to learn more ways I can make things work for me. Thank you !!
It’s my hips that prevent me from bending down please help😢
I'm not the expert by any means, but following what she said you should bend with your knees first and put the pressure there instead of your hips. I'm sorry but I'm not a trainer or anything so I don't know how to tell you exactly how to do that. Good luck.
@@apriljohnson8069 She said bend at the hips first and the knees were not meant to take that much weight.
After a back injury my chiropractor taught me the golf tilt. Pivot at the hip (with your best hip) and use a leg behind you to balance.
Thank you much…
Helps a lot..specially at my age of 74…
More blessings to you
GOD bless u
Welcome!
Excellent🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yep!
Use the largest joint available to get the job done! Great reminder, thanks.
Yes. Hips got it.
That's amazing, I always used to bend my knees. And it was hard to get up again. Thanks to you I am now using my hips😅
So glad you like the video!
Thanks for this ! I’m going to put this to use immediately !!! GOD bless you !!!
You are so welcome
It’s true!! I just did it and big difference!! Thank you so much for this tip! God Bless! =)
Everything is excellent about this! Thanks
Wow. I`ve had a few problems lately with my knees as I`ve been focusing on bending below my back level (back problems). This was a really clear and insightful video. Thank you.
Glad you liked the clear tips.
I got a hernia about 14 years ago. I was at the bank, holding my son and dropped a pen. Bent over and felt the tear. It was distinct. I had to have surgery. Ever since then, my method of picking things up has change and I bend at the hips and if its heavy or I have to go fast, I will use my arms or legs as a counterweight to what I am attempting to pick up so that my "trunk" isnt using as much weight, rather, the momentum can assist in the lift.
Also, I have done a lot of weight lifting and my current job requires me to lift 50lbs shoulder level dozens of times a day and a lot of people dont realize how much more efficient it is to brace your arms against your trunk and pull the weight to your chin just using biceps....its a squeeze, but it takes the weight off of your back and especially your stomach and drives it up.
Most times I have to squat or crouch, its to pick something up, which is why I mentioned that. Otherwise......bending over and having one hand on your knee to lock your body in place is probably the best bet.
Thank you for the information
You bet!
Thank you for all the great information you tell us about!
❤
Thanks so much for this advice!
There are times I've done it this way, but I didn't know that's the best way for dealing with my arthritic knees...
Now I know! 👍🏾
Welcome!
Your legs are in incredible shape, look so strong... Awesome tutorial 🕊️🙏🏻🌸

The hips first?, I am seeing your knees bend in perfect unison 😂🤣🙏♥️
VERY USEFUL TEACHING!!❤
Glad to hear that
Dang that tidbit of knowledge made a huge difference!
Yep!
I have GERD and was told in the hospital to not try to bend down from the waist to pick something off the floor. I discovered by accident that if I spread my legs very far apart, keep my knees soft, not locked I can pick something off the floor and not upset my stomach muscle. Your method is far more elegant than mine.
My right knee has started troubling a bit.Thanks for timely demonstration.
I know this is exactly how we are supposed to bend. My problem is that ever since I had both hips replaced, in 2012, the left one just always has less range of motion. I also have a bulging disk in my lower back and general arthritis in my entire spine. So, I just can't ever bend down low without a concerted effort. If I spill something, I go get my kneeling bench and use it to get down and back up. I think I need to get about 2 or 3 more and scatter them throughout the house! But honestly, I would like this overall stiffness to get better and your videos are so great for this!❤
Brilliant, helped me reprogram my movements so to not cause pain 🇧🇷 greetings from Brazil
Great advice. Thank you. God bless you richly.
