Lower Body Mobility Routine - Squat / Deadlift Warmup

[@lydialopezcoaching000]

Yes! Yoga for lifters, yoga for everyone!

[@itsHiizo]

mobility is everywhere ^^ its not really yoga, its juste improving our humain capacity and capability

[@nicoledbooth]

very true but the first part was a variation of a sun salutation routine and the other hip openers were taken from pilates too

[@Msloverawfood]

@@itsHiizo Yoga means "union" and it is not necessarily just the postures that are done in most basic yoga classes as there are 70,000 postures. Yoga is about breathing and creating space (so hold for a minimum of 5 sec) so you can go just a bit further into a stretch and to do outside in nature is absolutely the best in becoming "one with your environment" aka "union".

[@sawblade37217]

Your lift technique is immaculate. No jerking motions just smooth and sustained effort.

[@CreateImperfect]

Thanks for the mobility tips! Learning to squat that low... Or rather relearning to squat that low is a challenge. But I will get there! Great video Meg.

[@suthibi]

My all time favorite video on KZbin thus far by any KZbinr. Very, very helpful & easy to follow along with. Thank you for the info!

[@theincrediblechriswilde1366]

being a deadlifter, and about to go more in depth with yoga/mobility, really needed something like this. stellar!!

[@debbiedeleon1847]

Had a tear of joy watching this vid. I do almost the same exact routine every time I squat/deadlift! Love everything you do girl! Keep it Strong!!

[@megandow3426]

I love that you incorporate yoga! it's so important to be flexible and know how to breathe during a movement!! ☺

[@alexiajoy8233]

Hey! Thanks for making this! I just started squatting, deadlifting, and overhead pressing this month. It blows my mind to see yoga (an old favourite) combined with lifting, but what a pair! I love how seriously you take this. Keep on filming!

[@DjNic11]

eyebrows somewhere between cara delevingne and rock lee

[@dmagin777]

they sort of scared me a little...

[@kaminatorXD]

Vice Admiral Strawberry LOL! exactly

[@soilesolange5840]

Yes, a bit too dark of color.

[@sinishta]

they are drawn on..its embarassing

[@puhdussyrampage2010]

Vice Admiral Strawberry and rock lee is the shit

[@AirCanMaster]

The crouch position you showed in the video helped me to find proper hip engagement in squats finally. Thanks so much.

[@hoop21itup]

Great content. Been needing mobility work. Thanks for the vid!!

[@ashleymcgrath2050]

This is perf, I was literally just googling a lower mobility warmup today. Thanks for all the quality content!

[@LexesOHara]

OMG yes I loved this! I think a lot of bodybuilders and powerlifters like to brag about not being flexible because of their "mass" but in reality, its not the mass that's preventing you from being flexible, its the lack of stretching and warming up! Loved that you made this video!

[@keybladex1337]

Godammit it midnight here in Australia and I was supposed to be asleep an hour and a half ago. Megsquats is stealing my sleep gains.

[@Phoebesmith3]

Thank you for making this !! This is exactly what I needed + have been trying to work on! My ankle + hip mobility aren’t the greatest and definitely have affected my squats and deadlifts but I’m working on it!

[@gilbertramirez3173]

so i have shared this with lots of people, i dont really lift meg, i am a super slow runner, i just did my first 26.2, this routine has really helped, just thought i would share, thank you

[@puhdussyrampage2010]

thank you its so important to do a warmup routine. some of the meatier pl will have a problem with the yoga poses but they hit the right spot.

[@lianaross2161]

I also love to do romwod for extra stretching and mobility. Definitely going to incorporate these into my pretraining routine!

[@joannabatt8055]

Love that you referenced yoga with Adrienne ❤️❤️

[@mannemannen7211]

interesting to see some of the mobility routines being used. ive always had a mobility issue so i thinkthese things u can do every day in a simple way is actually quite good for me.

[@jimnatsume92]

Ive been terrified of trying to lift because I was scared of losing flexibility. I really needed to see this. Thank you @megsquats

[@emZee1994]

The Voodoo floss bands have nothing to do with blood flow, yes that's a cool feeling but that's not why it's effective The bands are tight and elastic and when you move with them it's stretches and pulls apart all your soft tissues/fascia (one or the other, maybe both) and unsticks them from each other. making the area more mobile and pliable

[@Dana-kl5mo]

loving the mobility work/warm up. gave me inspiration for my own warm up. i would love to see more of this 'background stuff'

[@rearderailleur]

Great Video! Best mobility video I have seen to date and i have seen too many. Thanks for putting in the work.

[@buckycore]

I got sick this month (over training and other issues). I'm totally going to do this routine to just keep me moving and more mobile before I go back to the gym

[@KrystenJanzen]

The lower body mobility routine was super helpful!

[@Qcforever2121]

i wanna see mark bell try your warm up

[@felixandresjc]

I want to see Mark Bell try Megan's eyebrows

[@stoneeh]

I read "i wanna see you try mark bell for warm up" :)

[@PlugThePull]

you're off the team

[@simonpeart7981]

UNQRTHQDQX_2 lol, definitely. New trend in power lifting

[@Hecatay]

I don't know if I'd ever be good at lifting heavy. I'm just now starting my fitness journey and I'm 5'7" and weigh 114 lbs. Definitely underweight. I really like your channel and I'm glad I found it. Hope to meet you one day.

[@RoyalKnightCurly]

Awesome squat routine! Something I'm doing myself more often, especially as a college guy who spends most of his day sitting😂. Ever since the shift in my life, your video has been so helpful to me. Thanks a lot and stay powerful💪!!

[@shaz191185]

thanks for the ideas Meg, whenever I lift I tend to warm up doing cardio and some stretching but been slowly working on my warmup and not be impatient to just start my main workout.

[@christiernst2470]

Really thankful for this video. I had been slacking on warming up before my workouts and I was just scrolling through your channel and found this! Seriously awesome! My hips thank you! Thank you for being you!

[@carolynehuot1506]

Loved this video Meg! Always looking for different routines and getting more mobile. Love how you use yoga and focus a lot on mobility which many heavy lifters forget.

[@MrGenedancingmachine]

I'm seeing a dash of Emily Blunt in your face

[@Itsmeyourdad666]

MrGenedancingmachine I see a little bit of Adele too

[@katheringil2750]

I love your eyebrows now. Thanks for your time on showing what we should do for warm up.

[@angrytom1923]

Mobility is something I've been working on since I started lifting heavier. This was helpful, thanks!

[@sheveenvassell2060]

Thanks for the pointers!! I'll be trying some of those moves the next time I hit the gym.

[@michellecicalese1949]

I'm finding some of the very best lifting tips from the gals. I'll be changing my warm-up routine a bit based on this video. Thank you!

[@harry6471]

Been looking for something like this for ages ! Gonna use this when I wake up and for before the gym,bjj and kick boxing ! Awesome stuff thanks !!

[@_adamdunbar]

This video is brilliant. Some really useful active stretches I use in my routine now

[@shannyp1714]

So happy you posted this video. Thank you!

[@MsPrezzz28]

I'm now getting serious about powerlifting and this was so informative! Thank you! ❤️

[@cameronbucheit3526]

The asian squat is called a prayer squat in yoga. You usually put your hands in prayer pose, and use your elbows to push out your knees :)

[@amandatorres9089]

I need to start a routine so badly! Recently got into romwod just need to do it consistently. Ps. Would you pretty pleassse do a video on how you edit and upload your videos. They always look so crisp and clear!

[@shesheez]

Yaaaasss...I love it Meg! Ryan speaks the truth...squatting position in the P.I. "waiting for the bus"! That's my peeps. I love your channel btw...and awesome mobility routine.

[@nataliemcmullen7741]

Thank you for this video! It was so helpful and informative. I was engaged from start to finish.

[@linkyin4246]

I like the background music! Very soothing!

[@jlushefski]

I've done some warm up deadlifts standing on plates. It feels good to go back to the ground for the heavier sets.

[@ryantakach1478]

Best warm up video I've seen. Thanks megskwaats

[@wannabewoodworker9705]

Just inspired me to try a little yoga from time to time

[@dogsmumm]

Really helpful thanks. I bookmarked this and took notes. I can use all of this stuff. GREAT brows, btw! I'm a little jealous.

[@audrakimbrell4689]

This video is so informative and helpful! Thank you thank you Meg!

[@MattH-nd9qk]

I finished my 20 mins of mobility work, time to get ready to lift!

[@katarinayoung2077]

10/10 informatative and 10/10 quality Meg. Hella appreciate the infom

[@zmccllc2096]

Thank you for putting on the shorts before you started your squats!

[@ChowmutLe]

Hey Meg! LOVED this video!!! Question, prior to squatting do you ever get the popping crunchy joints/knees? NO pain, just very similar to knuckles popping? Does it carry on throughout your lifts? Mine do, and it's more prominent w/out knee sleeves. Again no pain though.

[@laurenmabe4874]

You are so relatable and informative! Thanks for this video. :)

[@sd200man]

Good encouragement and some good ideas for warm-up. You are fun to watch,. Thanks.

[@hulkh3489]

So effortless!

[@litebrite42780]

So grateful for this video. Thank you!!

[@MisfitManiacJoe]

Imagine Eddie Hall trying to do these stretches haha

[@abraxis20]

He might be more flexible than you imagine. I know he does some mobility drills.

[@mgmtdustin]

Akeruz I guarantee Eddie hall can get into these positions.. strong men have to be so mobile to get into positions

[@deputiedawg]

[@BellesDayDreams]

Absolutely wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep it up, you are incredible

[@XX-ky4fk]

I'm so happy that I discovered your channel! I love your personality and the videos you make! Do you have any tips or tricks regarding soreness? After my legday I'm usually sore for about 4-6 days, which is really annoying and even rolling on that roll thing doesn't help..

[@auroraschein9626]

Ahaha youre the best Meg Squats. Love your content

[@ThatMFShawnzy]

This is literally yoga. Good video.

[@slugtothechest]

Thanks Meg! I want just thinking about this before going to the gym.

[@MUSCLEMAN866]

Meg, loved video , I have tight hip flexors , basically all lower body . Super excited to try the stretching from the Video . Thank You .

[@Aydinwxz]

I'm a simple man.

[@ODITno]

[@holg8312]

thanks Meg, that was really helpful. I haven't been able to do a back squat without falling over!

[@st708]

That was super helpful. Thank you. The music is great too

[@ezedev]

Thanks for making this! Super helpful.

[@ddiancrain]

Obsessed with the music in this video! Thanks for all the great ideas, I'll try a few of these out! That hip circle is on my xmas list haha

[@irisvanswol2225]

Thanks Meg! Very helpful video

[@Degonfly]

Thanks for this video. My hip flexor is always sore after squats and deadlifts.

[@cristinadiaz984]

Your eyebrows were the first thing I noticed that was different about you! lol Still look good though!

[@guy1996]

great vid, so helpfull. can you do a part 2 please, about how to cool down and stretch off at the end of a workout. PS thanks for the program I got quite a bit stronger % wise 😀

[@jesselioce]

Just what i need. Great vid. I'm subscribing

[@welshboyuk7651]

The movement at 6:59 was like a miracle cure for me for some reason?....for the past couple of years now I have had a nerve problem were when I bend backwards slightly my legs go numb and weak therefore stopping me from doing any kind of backward bending exercises like bridge etc, I’m not sure what happened but when I tried it for the first time my legs did the usual by going numb and weak, the second time there was like a warm sensation going down my legs and no I didn’t pee myself lol and the third time there was nothing, but seriously I can now bend backwards and it don’t do it no more? I have been doing the progression exercises for the bridge movement and yoga for the last 6 months now to try and correct my problem and up until now there hasn’t been any noticeable improvement , I could only hold the bridge for roughly 1 or 2 seconds cause my legs would give way but for some reason now I can hold the bridge and any backward bending exercises without the my legs failing me?

[@ritacarvalho2944]

super helpful video, thanks meg!!

[@chromecannon2536]

Rloop bands are made in Murka. Good resistance, too.

[@dannifeinstein5556]

Hey girl! Thanks for the warmup demo - super informative!! Plus you defs make me burst out laughing a few times >> the face tattooing comment haha goals though! Mine too 😎 Also I think the yogi name for your toddlers squat is a malasana squat. Love yur content! Keep keepin it real👍🏼

[@TractorRun]

the eyebrows look great!!! they'll look perfectly filled all the time now

[@ryane2552]

Thanks!! But what about Meg's?

[@Fhiona]

Eric Szeto too thick, you see them before you see her face :\

[@sleeperftw1]

thanks for the video! and your eyebrows are amazing!

[@justinw72ify]

that music dope in the beginning doing that yoga stretching

[@browslasheseducation_bybec4348]

such a beneficial video... I really wanted to know how to stretch and prepare myself for a squat/deadlift session... #12weeksout... love from Ireland ❤xxx

[@stephanieencina1363]

Yaaaassssss girl I'm so trying this routine, thanks!!!!!

[@streetjackal4411]

I don't know how you do it, but warm-ups are usually boring as hell and I watched this whole vid.. Good stuff.......

[@normloughran3539]

Thanks Meg . Fantastic mobility vid . Norm.xxx

[@KyokuDoKansoShinasai]

Channel is blowing upp!!!

[@wccrispy]

I really like doing a full bridge as well when I stretch.

[@millerOnTheRun]

Meg! You're so close to 100k subs!!! Hoping for the best! :)

[@MixD8]

SICK I need this. Thanks strong, strong sista

[@odysseasmpsarros]

omg she is goals

[@glencannondr]

what i have noticed is that stretching properly can "wake-up" your hips which are extremely important to squats and deadlifts. a lot of beginners (especially beginners without sports or fitness backgrounds) lack hip awareness. also dynamic stretching is great to warm the muscle and joints. Meg do you do any light cardio, like a 10 minute bike ride before lifting?

[@mmcknz]

I love this video Meg!
