Squats look simple enough, and they're one of the most popular compound exercises to feature in leg day routines and gym workouts, but they're also very easy to do wrong.If you're learning how to squat properly, there are specific cues you'll learn to improve your form. Common ones you've probably heard include keeping your back straight, chest proud, core engaged and gaze ahead. But factors such as mobility, injuries, age, muscle imbalances, or even health concerns can impact your ability to squat properly.A problem I've always had is tight ankles, and I struggle to reach parallel when I squat. For a long time, I blamed it on my hips, but not too long ago, I performed a mobility health test using the Pliability app. It was here that I learned my ankles are the likely issue.Keen to make improvements to my squat, I committed to a 30-day ankle mobility program called "Fix Your Ankles," which can be found in the app logged as a five-week path. Here are my results.What is the "Fix Your Ankles" mobility path on Pliability?
