How Squats Can Change Your Life hooked me at first glance. I just had to grin when reading the title. Then I became completely fascinated on reading the Table of Contents - that's never happened.
I so enjoy the care for the whole person that is on every page; from the breathing tips, quotes, nutritional strategies, life-enhancing practices, to easy-to-understand information on endorphins, dispelling fear and re-wiring your brain. Love that! This book is a demystifying manual on how the whole human works.
Inside of Squats are treasures of practical wisdom for anyone willing to bend their knees and access the quad energy garden. May we all walk in beauty.

"How Squats Can Change Your Life", is the most extensive book Ive seen on the subject of squats, and covers everything I could imagine on the topic.
Its not hard to find information on the proper form of the exercise, but after reading this, youll understand not just how but more importantly why to squat, and its explained thoroughly from many angles, physical, mental and spiritual.
When I first started lifting weights, I was told that I must have been built for squats. I had good form and was told it was my best exercise.
I was also taught that as I build muscle, Id start closing gaps in my body that are necessary for a full range of movement. I decided to dedicate myself to maintaining my flexibility for wrestling and for life - I stretched vigorously whilst I built up my muscles.
Even when I was squatting over 500lbs (226kg) I could, and would do a full split on the floor, even with my body suspended between two chairs or benches to support my feet.
I have no doubt that stretching helps with increasing strength and muscular development, and it definitely helps you achieve a better squat, which in turn helps your overall fitness.
Squats make your entire body adapt to the condition of the movement, from flexibility and strength, to balance and whole-body development.
As this book intimates, if you dont include squats, you really don't have a fitness regimen. So, learn to stretch and squat; get familiar with the edge of your comfort zone and work in from there, on increasing your range of motion. It's a great way to build a relationship with your legs and by extension, your entire body - youll actually get to know yourself better, and it is this insight that will help you with many, many other things in life including squats themselves.
Get prepared to go after your goals and start by reading "How Squats Can Change Your Life".
Good luck and have fun stretching out and reaching for your potential!

Preface
How Squats Can Change Your Life has been written for anyone that wants to know how squats can help them achieve increased health, fitness, strength and energy in a remarkably short time.
Before I'd reached my teen years, I remember being fascinated by superheroes and their physiques. Just a childhood fantasy, like many others before me, I guess.
In my teens, I started casually reading up on anatomy, just for fun, as you do! From there I practised and realized that squats were the single most rewarding exercise you could perform. By investing a bit of effort into your legs you could develop your overall bodily strength, muscles, circulation, stamina, and start to mould your body the way you wanted. There is a real sense of natural hormonal euphoria from the movement, repetitions, sets and lifting achievements themselves. What's not to like?
What I noted with regular squatting workouts (with or without weights) was interesting. I no longer got sick. I no longer got the usual round of viruses, colds, infections, aches and pains that I used to get which others still regularly got.
One of the best advantages is that I no longer needed to take medicines or wait around for my turn in a packed doctor's office or GP surgery something that always made me feel awkward. I haven't needed to see a doctor for over 8 years, I was even called by my GP's secretary because I was no longer on the register though as a responsible adult, I did register, from free choice, but I'm glad I didn't need to freedom is a wonderful thing!
Something clicked for me. I realized that the body has its own inbuilt 'pharmacy' of natural drugs which you can activate by squatting regularly (with or without weights) for 5-10 minutes per day. This can help prevent a litany of health problems from developing in the first place.
I felt that this knowledge, along with a few methods, techniques and appropriate mindsets that I used (and still do) should be shared with as many people as possible, which is ultimately what compels me to write this book.
Squats have changed my life - now it's your turn to learn, experience and benefit from how squats can change your life, too.
