## Caption

Let me ask you a question: Are you reading this caption sitting on your chair right now, or perhaps you might be reading it while waiting for your cab.
 
The next step which you might do would be to sit, stand or climb the steps in front of you. In order to sit, stand or climb stairs conveniently you have to shift or adjust your body weight such that your knees will cross the toes in order to perform these motions. We happen to perform these actions unconsciously during our day-to-day activities, but when it comes to lifting weights or performing exercises, some misinformed trainers feel that it's incorrect (without studying the science behind it)
 
It's absolutely safe for the knee to travel across the toes, in fact, restricting the motion can cause more harm than good. But one might ask - is it safe to do it with additional weights, like weighted lunges or squats? The answer still remains the same: Full range of motion should be utilised while exercising and same applies for fundamental movements like squats, where the knee will cross the toes.
 
The only point to remember is that when knees cross the toes, your heel should remain on the floor (foot must remain completely connected to the floor)
 
I hope this helps you train better! Let me know if you have any questions about any other exercise in the comments section.
