You Don’t Know Squat

When your tailbone tucks, this clearly shows how TIGHT your hips have become! If you can’t sit back without tucking, it means that your hips are so stiff, they are preventing natural activity of the pelvic floor and gluteal muscle groups. Do this a few times a day until you can get back with your tailbone up.
You may also see how we are getting the body in the same position as a deeper squat without the loads. It is better to improve range of motion before you throw all your body weight onto tight joints.
Other fun squatting tips…
If your tailbone is tucking when you sit back, it means that instead of peeing (or other things) in a downward motion, you are actually doing them in a forward motion. So that’s why you pee all over your shoes. Maybe you shouldn’t joint the barefoot movement until you’ve mastered the squattingone. Just sayin’.
Now that you’ve been sitting back, it’s time to make your feet move into their squatting position. Tuck your toes under and try to get your feet perpendicular to the ground.

Spend some time stretching your feet while sitting back (aaaaand lifting your tailbone!)
Now it’s time to start bearing your body weight. The strength needed in a squat is not only getting down and lifting up, but also the strength in the lower legs to stabilize the ankles. Your lower leg muscles will usually fatigue first! To keep squats safer for your knees and hips, you should keep the alignment of the lower leg and feet. The feet should point forward, they should be placed just slightly wider than the pelvis, and the knees should not be wider or more narrow that the feet.
When you first squat, super tight quads and psoas can increase the pressure in the knees. In addition to the squat-prep exercises, give yourself additional joint space by placing the rolled yoga mat behind the knees.
