In this blog I hope to track my adventures in fitness, food justice, gardening and body acceptance. I will do so with a critical eye--examining how anti-fat bias, economics, class, sexism, urban (suburban and rural) development deprives us of satisfying movement, and how health is collective and personal.

Proper Squat Form
This video shows you proper air-squat and standard squat form demonstrated by a variety of individuals. Squats are great for your legs, but hard of the knees if you are carrying extra weight. According to Dr. Oz's show yesterday, losing weight and doing conditioning involving the knee can result in healing of the knees, so don't rule out squats altogether if you're heavy although consult a doctor, nurse practioner or personal trainer who specializes in obese clients before starting a squat regime.
