How to do a Basic Squat

11 weeks until race time!

I have been doing squats at work to get some leg work in since I sit at a desk all day.

So here is a picture that indicates the correct form for a squat.

Chest up - Feet shoulder width apart - knees directly over toes - continual line from head to bottom

I do them in sets of ten. Add a kettleball for intensity!

Dirty Girl Race 2013

So, I did it. I joined a race. First race ever. No more chicken here! I have #KodakCourage on my side. I started forming my team. I have a possible 7 people including myself. 3 official (signed up) - 3 unofficial (need to sign up) and 1 on the fence. We have to woo her....

We, also, have another group of girls (7) we know, on another team, that will be attending at the same time.

DIRTY GIRL RACE

Our team is Kodak Courage. We are going to kick butt.

I will keep you posted of the next 12 weeks we have to get ready.

Squat Challenge

So, I had seen a squat challenge on another blog, so I thought, why not?

They started March 1 and slowly increased their amount daily. Well, seeing as I was starting on March 25 - I decided, I was just to put the max on a sheet and see what I could do everyday.

Day 1 - I did 90 ~  day 2 - I did 210 ~ today - day 3, I finished the sheet!

320!

I do 10 sqat reps and do them anywhere I can in my office.

I tend to do a lot in the bathroom.

But let me tell you, I don't care where I do them. This is great.

I work at a desk all day and the sitting is killing me.

KILLING ME!!

 Literally, I feel like I am dying a slow, horrible death.

This gets me up and moving a lot more! So, here is the sheet if you would like to try your own squat challenge. Or push ups, situps, curls, jumping jacks....

Or anything that gets you moving more!
