We’ve seen a bunch of clients in the past…

Many of them at all levels of fitness. And what we’ve seen for sure is a few interesting ways to do squats.

There are a few right ways to do them, but there are also a few ways to do squats that can really get you in trouble! :-)

(For some this means just splitting their pants, but others it could mean knee, ankle and other problems!)

Here are three of the biggest mistakes people make when they do their squats as well as 2 squat myths busted.

Take a look…

Your question of the day: Go ahead and do a squat and tell us what you see on the blog!

    Happy 30th Kevin!!! Maybe you could do an interview with the owner of the biomat (earthfx) which is supposed to help ground you when on a computer or the loss of connection to the earth’s magnetic field from wearing sneakers…

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN!!!

    Early birthday yes, but happy nonetheless! Thank you for all the wonderful information you bring into the world via renegade health.

    also, I HAD A DREAM ABOUT YOU! Hahaha you were the front desk person at the hotel I was staying at. And I kept asking you questions…then it was bombed and afterwards they found me on the roof reading. I’m sure you were safe as well. Far out!

    Seriously, have a great birthday and simplify!

    Happy Birthday Kevin. Thank you so much for having this segment. I am getting older now (60’s) and kind of moved away from doing squats because I worried about my knees. But, after practicing the way that you say to do it, I will re-incorporate them into my daily routine. I found it comfortable and realize that with daily practice they will get easier and easier.

    Thanks you Kevin. And Again – HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

    Happy Belated Birthday to Annmarie and Happy Birthday to you Kevin.. without the 2 of you and all the work you do to ‘unlock the secrets of the universe’.. ‘for the betterment of America’, where would we be. I certainly hope you do find the answers before your poor little head explodes.. loved it. Hope you have a great b’day weekend!! XO

    Kevin…
    I have arthritis and my knees are the worse! I use to dance, play baseball and do many things that I can’t do anymore due to my knee problems.

    I so want to build them up or make them stronger but when I do the squats they hurt so much. I know it will take time to build up…so I will take it easy but if you have any suggestions I would be grateful.

    The leaning against the wall helped alot!
    Thanks!
    Happy Happy Birthday..and like your bulletin board read…YOU ROCK!

    Hi Kevin, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, take some “time out” and do some thing you really enjoy, it will be therapeutic. On the subject of “fitness Friday” do you know where are I can get one of those frames that fit in your door way so that you can do “pull ups”. I am a New Zealand resident and its not available over here. Keep up the good work, you keep on excelling yourself, your contribution is AWESOME !

    “Step away from the computer…” OMG KDcat and I were giggling so much with the clips at the end of this video. :-D

    We did some squats and are happy to report we seem to be doing them okay. I’m glad I don’t have that older woman thing going on, yet! LOL

    =================
    Kevin,

    Happy, happy birthday to you!!! May all your wishes come true and your life always be filled with health, love, happiness, wealth, and laughter. I hope you have a fantastic, fun-filled 30th birthday this weekend! You deserve it!

    I value your friendship so very, very much. Thank you for all that you do–you (and Annmarie!) have enriched my life (and the lives of Jim and KDcat, too, of course). You also enrich the lives of all your followers, helping them learn so much about their bodies and ways to be healthy! Thank you for being you! Happy, happy birthday, Kevin!

    I love you!

    Hey Kevin happy birthday! and for introducing me to all things raw. You put out such prodigious quantities of info that between reading and listening to your site and another 2 sites I need all the raw energy I can get just to digest all this stuff!!

    I soak it up as fast as I can but cant swallow all even tho I want to. So keep it short and simple for interested dummies!! Maybe make short header statements to help me decide what to read in the 2 minute slot!!!

    Keep it up though, Its great to get it in short bursts that we can digest before the next “food wisom” Like the kitchen shots!

    Thanks and great big HB

    Happy Birthday, Kevin, Have the best weekend ever!

    To answer your question of today, I must be honest and tell you that when doing a squat to pick up something from the floor, I can’t get up anymore! Maybe my age keeps me down, I’m 73 and I have to pull myself up holding at some nearby furniture.

    But I love to watch all the shows of you and Annmarie, even Fitness Friday.
    Keep up the good work !

    A special Thank You for the very interesting interview with Susan Smith Jones !

    Love,

    SQUATS: I have to try very hard to keep my feet in proper alignment, they want to point out! And I must be weak because when I try to do a “full” squat 90 degrees is all I’ve got!

    I hope you have a very happy birthday Kevin!!
    Your show, advice, transparency, enthusiasm, and your ability to radiate positive energy have been a HUGE inspiration to me and have pushed me to constantly be conscious of what I can do to better my own health and well being.
    I love seeing the fun you and Annmarie have every day making this show and it has shown me that living a raw and healthy lifestyle is all about the fun and joy that it brings!

    Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

    ANNMARIE: Is Wednesday’s show going to feature Kevin’s birthday meal? You’re so wonderful in the kitchen!!

    Ahem – first of all…

    Happy birthday to you,
    Happy birthday to you,
    Happy birthday, dear Kevin,
    Happy birthday to you!!
    And many more…

    Kevin, I hope your birthday is full of fun, love, laughter and wonderful time with family and friends! I hope the sun is shining bright and the air is clean and sweet! I hope you are blessed with many surprises and joys throughout the day! May all your wishes come true!! Happy 30th birthday!! :-)

    Now, about the squats…I don’t think I make any of the mistakes you listed (I just did a few to make sure), but the most challenging part for me is not leaning forward to compensate for the heaviest part of my body, so I don’t fall backwards – hehe! ;-) Seriously, I think this is more of a challenge for women, since our center of gravity is a little lower than for men. I think your pointer about focusing/thinking of your feet being ‘bolted’ to the floor will really help – thanks for that, Kevin!

    I must say, I don’t do a lot of squats lately, because the most disturbing part of doing squats for me is hearing the crunching sound my knees have been making for about the past six months. I have been working on trying to repair this with supplements and gentle strengthening for a couple of months; so far it’s not getting much better, there’s sure a lot of crunching going on! Anybody else have this problem?? If so, maybe you could talk about it on one of your future shows…

    I loved hearing your kitty meowing in the background! :-D I also love when mine put their paw under the door – too funny! You should have let her in so she could say hi! :-D

    Kevin and Annmarie, I love your show – you guys RAWk!!! (I saw your “YOU ROCK” message when you were doing your squats against the door – hehe!) :-) You have answered so many questions and provided so much information and motivation to me and so many others – you are so special, and we are all very blessed by you – THANK YOU for all you do!!

    Happy Birthday again, Kevin!! :-D

    My website, miriamturnerproducts.com for reflexology, etc is up, now almost finished and it links to you.
    My birthday is in a few days so maybe astrologically we are both good teachers. I plan to give some free reflexology self-help classes at a local charity–in the Christmas spirit.
    Keep up the great work.

    Happy Birthday for Sunday Kevin! You’ve been a great source of education and inspiration to me. I truly appreciate the efforts you make on our behalf.
    I am a very good girl when it comes to squat technique. I’m always extra careful to squat correctly as I have slight knee issues which need to be improved, not aggravated. I’m glad you highlighted those main mistakes though because you can get into all sorts of trouble doing it wrong!

  111. sonja
    7:23 am on December 6th, 2008

    Happy Birthday Kevin. Hope you have a wonderful day! I have trouble with my knees and find squats really painful. I reckon I do them wrong. I notice my knees point outwards when I do them. I will try the ones against the wall, see what happens.. Thanks for all your work..

    This is my very first post. I have watched and listened to your show over the last 3 months and i just want to express how deeply grateful i am for all that you do. You have been of enormous support in my journey to raw and have aided my huge shift that has effected every area of my life. You inspire me to be a better human being and to really contribute through my own passion for health and vitality as well as a greater connection to spirit and my fellow humans. Thank you so much. I hope that you have an awesome birthday. If it is half as good as some of the days you have thus far inspired in me i know it will rock!!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN!!
    I’d like to thank you for how you changed my live.
    At the time F1 had a forum I used to be there almost daily. One day he posted a link to a short film about the effect 30 days raw had on diabetics.That made a huge impression on me.At that time I was maybe a year or 18 month raw and still not sure whether I wanted
    to continue or not.
    Later F1 announced that was going to be in the Raw Summit, so I went over there.
    I had read Nature’s First Law, but apart from F1 and David Wolfe I didn’t know any of the people that were going to be interviewed.
    Now I’m a big fan of Dr. Douglas Graham and Victoria Boutenko. Moreover, I know that
    whatever happens, even when I stray once in a while, I’ll always get back to 80/10/10/ and,
    to get enough greens, Green for Live.
    You’re far to productive for me to get into all of it, but I love your shows and your recipe’s.
    As we have a party tonight I’ll make the meal you made for Annmarie’s birthday.
    Thanks Kevin for making such a difference.

    Happy Birthday Buddy!

    Loved your email this morning and I enjoyed your video on squats.

    I’m not religious, but I do feel blessed to have you as friend. You’re an incredible guy who is doing a whole lot of good in the world.

    So far my 30’s have been the best years of my life and I’m sure they will be the best for you as well.

    Keep spreading your energy and zest for life with the world man. You ROCK!

    Happy birthday Kevin!
    About squats, they are so goooooood for you! I do them regulary in my fighting fitness workout and in the beginning I could only do 20 reps, later on when I was more fit I could do 300 or more…
    Yes, it’s sunday today, and just read your email as well. What if I see any signs in my life? Haha, I had to laugh! I have had so much problems so I just gave up in between and laugh about the whole thing…
    So signs, yes, good ones, hmmm no…
    But, for a guy who seem to know what he is doing (you), if you bump into a similar woman like Ann-Marie or a woman who would appreciate a healthy raw food guy, well, you know what to do, send her my way!
    Have a great day!!!

    Loved your 6 for success with Frederic the other night. Have started implementing and it’s helping already.

    Kevin, much later than your happy b’day:
    at least I do squats better than pushups!
    are you moving from CT .. you’re getting out of the fitness business? are you moving to Mexico? what is going on?

    hi Kevin,
    I am a personal trainer , one very important thing to also focus on is to never allow your knees to come forward of the balls of your feet when you are in the sqaut position..especially with knee problems … About the squat going into a deep level , well if you want to have knee problems in the future keep doing them that way , so in all my 20 plus years of training you can go a little deeper that a 90 degree angle but just to break it to get the extra workload …happy birthday .. P.s. I check my mail late most of the time so i will say belated one …it is new years now !!! So happy new year to both of you … Sherry a raw fooder …

    Kevin me again , also do your squats in a slow controlled manner if you want suberb results! As in proper form …..
