Description

The potty squat with support is a modified version of the traditional squat exercise that provides assistance and stability for those with limited mobility or strength.

Starting Position

Stand facing the support with feet shoulder-width apart, and grip the handles for stability.

Technical Execution

Slowly lower your body by bending at the knees and hips, keeping the back straight and chest up. Push through the heels to return to the starting position.

Range of Motion

Ensure a full range of motion by squatting until thighs are parallel to the ground or as far as range of motion allows.

Variations

Variations can include adjusting the height of the support or adding resistance bands for increased challenge.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes include not maintaining proper form, relying too heavily on support, and not engaging the target muscles effectively.

Practical Advice

Focus on controlled movements, engage the core muscles, and gradually increase resistance as strength improves.

Additional Notes

This exercise is particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from injuries or with mobility limitations.
