A deep V squat, which most of us could do as children, will help develop and maintain hip, knee and ankle mobility.
Struggling?
1. Hold onto something to take some of your body weight
2. Raise your heels if ankle mobility is limited
3. Add a small rolled up towel behind each knee to ease knee pain
4. Practice short bouts of deep V squats daily
With two total hip replacements, I’ve worked hard to regain flexibility. It takes a daily practice of movement to maintain (and/or regain mobility with age).
If you don’t work at these things, soon you won’t be able to do them at all.
Can you do a deep V squat? Will you try any of my modifications?
