This week we are sharing Angela's Video for the Front Narrow Squat - an exercise which is excellent is for the Quadriceps. For those of you new to this series, we do a deep dive into one strength training exercise at a time. We get into the anatomy; 3-approaches to each exercise of topic is demonstrated. Always demonstrated is the exercise without added resistance for those who have chronic concerns, to give them hope that there is something they CAN do without injury. Ultimately, you get to choose the exercise your body appreciates. It's a DIY approach. - Angela

For those with chronic concerns, read Suggested Practices At-A-Glance below. It is part of her mission to make sure those of us with chronic concerns are not forgotten and not dismissed because of these concerns. We can figure out a safe approach to encourage you to return to exercise or begin your new journey, with an open mind and a different attitude, not cultivated in negativity.
SAFETY FIRST! SUGGESTED PRACTICES AT-A-GLANCE
1 - Before exercising to any video, please show the video to the medical healthcare practitioner who best knows your medications and your body to help you make an informed decision about exercising and what equipment to use during exercise.
2 - Make sure your workout space is well lit, free of clutter and of comfortable temperature.
3 - Make sure your workout equipment is safe, i.e. use chairs without wheels and exercise on a hard, flat surface -- no throw rugs.
4 - Do not eat full meals 2-3 hours prior to exercise.
5 - Stay hydrated during workout unless you have kidney or bladder issues.
6 - Always wear closed-toed shoes, preferably sneakers or aqua shoes.
7 - Always follow suggested modifications.
8 - Exercise equipment is suggested but not required in order to safely execute each workout.

Those of us who struggle with chronic illness, injury or limited mobility might focus on what we can't do. I'm here to help you with what you CAN DO!
