I asked a physical therapist why my heels don't stay on the floor when I squat—here's what he had to say

Two women in fitness studio holding blue Pilates ball squat down, the heels of the woman on the right are off the floor.

I love to squat. Weighted goblet squats are one of my favorite exercises and form a central part of every workout I do.

However, I’ve noticed that when I try to deep squat—with or without weights—my heels lift off the floor.
