how many should you be doing?
squats increase ur vertical jump..
Let eyes have a focal point on the ground ahead of you. In this case perhaps looks at a point were the floor meets the wall. This is the only mistake i see the inructor do. He looks straight ahead of him.
In the beginning it can be useful to turn your toes upwards. In this way u will get the right balance after just a few reps.
QUESTION:do squats msake your hips wider
I liked the way in which you went about explaining everything. This was a job well done. Thank you!
No, these are good for building muscle.. by trimming I assume you mean fat loss? That comes with a proper diet, cardio and weights.
Often when I do squats, I move my weight to my toes, not my heels. It seems like when I do that, I am using my calf muscles more than I should. Is it really important to keep my weight on my heels the whole time?
The reason I want to make sure is that it is much easier to keep my balance when I have my weight on my toes, but if that is incorrect I would not want to do it that way.
WRONG !
ur knee came over ur toes !
stand on your heels when ur on 90 degrees.
Great vid, thank you!

He said ‘pumping manner’. o_o Not to ruin your joke, but just to state a fact.
Lmao “humping manner” XD
these good for trimming thighs?
You need to lean more towards your toes. Don’t lean all the way or you’ll fall forward, just focus on keeping your feet completely flat and even on the floor.
how come whenever i try this i feel like im going to fall backwards. ahhhh :S hahaha i know i’m doing this wronggg !
you couldnt be anymore wrong. calves have little to do with your jumping abilitity. about 20%
no its not.
I’m feeling it in my knees is that ok?
good to know, something I can do while I watch tv
Many thanks. That was useful.
thanks yo
Calves are really what you jump with but essentially if you work your lower body your vertical should increase look into it a bit more.
these help u jump higher?
