Under Construction...

This weekend I am going to work on revamping the daily challenge. Please check back Monday for more info and tips.

Until then try this fun exercise-

Sissy Squats (these suckers are one of my favorites. They seem easy at first, but soon you will know exactly what body part they are working:). Do 2-3 sets of 20 reps.


I don't know if sissy squat is the correct term for these. It is just the name I was taught.

Stand with feet hip width apart and your heels elevated on the ends of dumbbells or a block of wood. You just need it so your heels are a few inches off the ground.

Squat down so you can grab your ankles with your hands.

"Glue" your chest to your thighs. If your chest leaves your thighs you are doing it wrong.

Lift your hips to the ceiling as you lengthen your knees. Remember chest stays connected to your thighs. Basically you should be folding forward at this point.

Lower your hips back down so you are in the starting position.

You should feel this working your thighs.

If this doesn't make sense let me know.

Enjoy!
