Squats

Who is up for a challenge? Who is ready to test themselves?

Starting in February, I am going to start a '1 Minute Challenge' based on a different exercise each month.

The aim is to see how many reps of an exercise you can do in 1 minute with correct form and movement. As a minimum, aim to complete the '1 Minute Challenge' at least once per week. Ideally, aim to complete it 3 times per week on different days e.g. 1 minute on Monday, Wedensday and Friday. If you commit to doing the '1 Minute Challenge' once per day as a way of getting active then great.

Squats with Shoulder Presses will help to build up your lower and upper body strength, provide a great core workout and challenge your Cardiovascular System. Squats with Shoulder Presses is a challenging compound exercise because the exercise if done correctly utilises a wide range of upper, mid and lower body muscles and joints simultaneously.

Squats will help to build up your lower body strength, provide a great core workout and challenge your Cardiovascular System. Squats don't require any equipment, you don't need much room and they can be performed anywhere and varied in so many ways. As a starter, you don’t need to use any weights either for resistance - you can use your own bodyweight or get someone to add resistance to your shoulders.
