In the world of working out, squats are the A list celebrities (coincidentally any celebrity rocking that booty got it with squat workouts). Squats are the perfect exercise. Not only are you strengthening your quads, hamstrings, and calves, but you’re building muscle throughout your entire body. Squats are also key for injury prevention and they’ll also help you maintain mobility and balance. Our office trainer Tess gives these tips for good squat form:
– Weight on your heels
– Chest up and chin lifted, looking straight ahead
-Bend your knees so they track over your toes and don’t cave in
– Keep your Core engaged
We’re on day 20 of this squat challenge and not only are we feeling overall stronger, but we finally feel like we’re the kinda girl Sir Mix-A-Lot would be singing about.
Are these body weight only squats? The picture leads me to believe so.
And are we expected to do all those reps for the day in one set? How many sets and reps per set? Does it matter?
Thanks
Chris, they are body weight and you don’t have to do all the reps at once. Break them into manageable sets for you!
Love the tip!!!
