If you want to maximize your squat form, look to the weakest links in the body. While often neglected, areas like the thoracic spine and ankles can play a huge role in your strength and stability. Even if you’re incredibly strong, you won’t be meeting your full potential until you address every nook and cranny of this movement pattern. Fortunately, this is quick and easy to do if you know of a few magical exercises!

Today I want to introduce three lightning-fast warm-ups you can do right before hitting your first set. Not only will these prime the body and mind to move efficiently, but it may be the difference between you progressing well or getting injured in the long term. This is all about maintaining your body like a well-oiled machine. If you can give it a few minutes of self-care every so often, your quality of movement will improve by leaps and bounds!
