As I squat they end up out in front of me like they are holding a ball. I don’t know what it is called. My crackly knees make me feel elderly. 
Ugly, bad and/or creakily, we are doing it.

And I’ve been told the arms shouldn’t swing. Controlled movements.

Day 5 exercise 
- including a googled photo of a squat. I do mine this way or put my hands behind my head (known as a prisoner squat). The main focus is keeping the weight in your heels and not letting your chest fall forward.

This is key. We used to put 5lb plates under the front of our feet to force you back on your heels when learning to squat.
I can’t do heavier squats anymore after a hip surgery which kinda sucks. So I just use the leg press machine for heavier leg workouts.

I’m on day 8 over here and as part of my plan for rest days I did a 5 minute plank. I might have divided it up into 5 sets but a full 5 minutes of my life today was spent in plank.
I’ll be here tomorrow for day 9.

I think id have to read the why comparaison is not your friend in parallel. I think thats why i avoid these things. I get in too much negative self-talk.

I was actually thinking of posting some thoughts on that thread today but work was crazy busy so I didn’t have time to jot them down.

I think I’m about a month away from enjoying burpees. I just did my first one a few months back. You go on ahead.
