- #Quah question #1 – I recently came upon a post where a trainer said you should never go “ass to grass” on squats or even 90 degrees and that it has no benefit physically or aesthetically. What are your thoughts on this claim? (44:35)
- #Quah question #2 – What are some things I can do to stay disciplined and motivated to work out at home? I have gotten so bad that my husband started calling it #NapsAnywhere. (52:24)
- #Quah question #3 – I am currently averaging about 3,000 steps during the lockdown. How would you recommend not seizing up and maintaining or improving mobility during this time? (1:01:00)
- #Quah question #4 – I frequently have issues with tight IT bands, but other than foam rolling I can’t seem to find any relief. Are there any uncommon stretches that work great for stretching them? I have seen some of the traditional stretches and have tried them, but they don’t seem to be very effective. (1:03:33)
