Leg Squats Without A Gym
Sponsored by: Rains Heating & Air Conditioning
A number of you have asked me to show you my workout but you don’t want to go to a gym.
I get it. A gym is a culture all its own and not for everyone.
I do like the social aspect of gym life.
I find it keeps me accountable and makes me want to show up more.
But we’re all different so this is for those who do not want to enter the gym space.
These two exercises will work your legs, shoulders, back and arms.
You don’t need weights but could find something in the kitchen or garage that weighs 10 to 15 pounds or more depending on your strength.
Make sure as you are squatting that you are going down as low as possible.
Don’t push it if you are new to this but the goal is get as low as you can.
Keep you back straight and chest high.
No drooping or rounding the back.
Also as you come up and get to the top you need to keep your core muscles, your stomach, tight and squeeze your butt when you get to the top.
If you don’t squeeze it no one else will either LOL.
I’d start with three sets. Start with 15 reps, you might want to go down to 12 the second time and ten the third. But if you can do the same weight three times with the same number of sets, do it.
As you get better and more familiar increase the weight.
And don't let your knees go past your toes as you go down, you want to sit and not lean forward. Good exercise for when we get older. 😉
