Tonight I decided to set the timer on my microwave and squat without looking at the time. Previously, I'd squatted 30 in 2 minutes, but I was doing the slow descent, hold for a beat then push up. While I'm sure those are better for you, now I'm trying to go for numbers. I looked at some youtube vids and it looks like I'm going the speed now most everyone else goes at. Anyway, in three minutes I did 60! SIXTY! I'm amazed. My legs were a bit noodly afterward and I was definitely breathing hard, yet I was super proud of myself. I can do that a few times a day. My end goal is still 300 squats and being able to do that regularly in a day (which would be like 18 minutes so long as I didn't slow down from noodle legs) but that's not going to happen today
I really need to have my boyfriend watch me though to make sure I'm going as low as I think I am-- I've watched some youtube videos of people and they're not really squatting down to where their thigh is parallel to the floor. I did find and like this video where she explains the three muscles in the butt and what they do to help-- as well as various butt and thigh exercises (totally going to do that saddle-bag one!)
