6th march 2012  THE HEEL SQUAT what has been discovered is that the weight of the bar should go through the heels both on the way down and on the way up ( it has brought about the single biggest improvement in 17 years )  this will give you a much firmer walking style in everyday life  you will need to use wood blocks or books or... to get a 2-5 centimetre lift under your heels  to start with develop the tendency of losing balance to the back of you  do it with your back to a wall so that when your balance does go the wall will give you the confidence to let it happen  it doesn't take long to get the balance right  a second point... use the square root * of your weight (every individual, regardless of weight, is assigned with a value of ten) as the basis for the heel squat * for everyone this is, as much as matters for now, one third of your body weight   examples... 30 kilograms body weight = 10kgs 40 kilograms body weight = 13kgs 50 kilograms body weight = 17kgs 60 kilograms body weight = 20kgs 70 kilograms body weight = 23kgs 80 kilograms body weight = 26kgs 90 kilograms body weight = 30kgs etc. we're aiming for 20 to 30 minutes of non stop repetitions at the moment it's as many repetitions as it takes to get to work uo a sweat as the years roll on we'll tie this exercise in with the heart, diet and rest/sleep NOTES  individual preesure pads for the soles and heels
