It left me, and unfortunately the client, feeling a bit silly when we tried to move forward only to be thrown back to the previous stage. My first mistake was not being patient in the progressions.

I’ll be honest, the first times through were a lot of me guessing and checking. Identifying common errors, knowing how to correct them and progressing a client properly are key components for performing squats effectively. I’ve found this to be true especially with clients who are brand new to fitness. Squats seem straightforward but teaching this movement properly with good alignment can be quite challenging.
