A tip that someone gave us the other day was to take a picture your bod before and then every few weeks to see how much you progress. These pictures aren't to show anybody else, just to help show yourself your accomplishments once your goal has been achieved. 

Why do squats?

  • Tones the Legs
  • Lifts the Butt
  • Strengthens the Core
  • Increases Flexibility
  • Upper Body Workout

How to Do a Common Squat Exercise

  1. Stand with your feet hip width apart.
  2. Tighten and pull in your abdominal muscles.
  3. Lower your body as if you were going to sit in a chair. Keep the motion slow.
  4. Stop when your legs are parallel to the floor.
  5. Stay in this position for a few seconds.
  6. Now press down onto your heels and slowly rise back up to a standing position.
  7. Repeat the exercise for a total of 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps.
  8. Be sure to rest for 60 to 90 seconds between sets.
