Squats are terrific for building muscle and burning fat—unless your form is terrible. Without the proper warm-up, athletes can suffer a variety of injuries to their lower back, hips and knees. A proper warm-up should work the entire body, not just the legs.
Unfortunately, many athletes load up the bar after only a few minutes of walking on the treadmill, setting themselves up for potential injury. To be more prepared for your next squatting session, perform this short warm-up that hits the entire body. See more below:
