We're kick-starting this year by keeping fit - if we're not starting today, then when, right?. So, our challenge this week is the Squat Challenge where you aim for 100 squats over the course of a day :) You up for it?
To do a proper squat, stand with feet shoulder-width apart, and slowly push your hips and butt back as you bend your knees to lower into a squat, keeping your weight in your heels.
If you are new to squatting or haven't exercised in a while, use a chair or bench behind you to lower yourself into (as if you were going to sit down) then as your butt touches the seat, stand back up.
To help with balance, you can hold your arms out in front of you as you lower into the squat. Take your time and focus on your form.
The squat works the muscles of your lower body including your thigh and buttocks, which are large muscles and therefore burn more calories.
You can choose to do your 100 squats in sets of 10 throughout the day or all at once for a thigh-burning quick anywhere workout.
