In honor of our SQUAT CHALLENGE I thought I would run through some different
squats to make this challenge a little less repetitive!
Today, we are just going to cover your generic, Basic Squat.
I found this stellar picture from the blog He and She Eat Clean and thought it was perfect!
To do a basic squat, you don't need heavy weights or fancy equipment (although that stuff is
fantastic!). Spread your weight throughout your whole foot, not just you heels. If you wonder why,
just try it out! It engages your whole leg (verses just the backside) which makes the move more significant!
Imagine yourself sitting back into a chair, chest lifted. When your knees are about at 90*, make
sure your knees are aligned with your toes, and then push back to standing.
I'm usually at a loss at what to do with my hands. You can do just like these lovely pictured
ladies are doing, or hold them straight out in front of you. If you have a bar or
dumbbells, hold at your shoulders.
Ready to knock out 55 squats today?!
ENJOY!
