Bretty101 Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 The squat thrust is a very easy exercise to do badly and I used to hate them till i did the following... Many people do them with there feet bouncing backwards and forwards. You can see their 'midsection' Bouncing and jarring which puts tremendous stress on the back,knees and stomach. The whole bouncing thing is really bad!! The best thing to do is wear martial arts shoes and slide your feet backwards and forwards so your feet hardly leave the floor. You will then concentrate more on the thrust which is a great workout on your glutes when pushing out and stomach when pulling in. Keep your midsection nice and low this should feel a lot better! Bretty btw people who break world records doing squat thrusts slide on padded feet and knees!!

Practice is the key _ Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 Squat trusts strenthens your hip and your hip muscles it helps your lower parts of your body to deal with injuries or cope with locking your leg when you do a hard thrusts kicks.
