Workout squats
What you need to know:
It is targeted for the legs and lower body but the squat actually works on the entire body.
Lately, I have been having a hard time finding nice outfits that fit perfectly. As a result, I have been giving a second thought to my weight woes. So, I went ahead and bought a pair of work out sneakers to begin the work out. The sad news is that those shoes haven’t come out of the shopping bag I brought them home in.
A friend of mine, Gladys Lwanga, told me about a workout routine that I could make use of without even having to leave the comfort of my home. The squats! She has been doing this routine for the past two months, and I’m begging to understand why her hips and rear seem more shapely lately.
Squats differ depending on what you want to achieve. You can do a body weight squat, a jumping squat, or the pistol squat. Although the squat is presumed to be a leg and lower body toner, it actually helps you tone you entire body muscle system. They can be done in almost any location, with or without the use of weights or equipment.
The benefits of the squats include toning your legs, bum lifting and shaping, thigh toning, and also increasing the flexibility of your body.
How to do a squat
* Stand with your feet wide apart.
* Lower your body as if you were going to sit in a chair.
* Do this in a very slow motion.
* Stop when your legs are parallel to the floor.
* Stay in this position for a few seconds.
* Press down onto your heels and slowly rise back up to a standing position.
* Repeat the exercise for a total of 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps.
* Be sure to rest for 60 to 90 seconds between sets.
* For good results, I suggest you keep this routine consistent.
