I love the benefits of staying fit and healthy, but I also struggle to feel like doing what I need to sometimes. And I can come up with all kinds of excuses why other things need to be done first, because I’m busy, too. I'm guessing you do, too. But I know I need to get my exercise for my own good. I feel better about myself when I keep my body healthy and in good condition. My body also feels better, with less aches and pain and more energy. And that’s becoming more importan...t now that I’m approaching my 60’s. It really doesn’t take that long to get in a quick walk, or lift some weight for 20 minutes. It’s all about knowing why I want to do it - to be healthy for the long-term so I can enjoy my future grandchildren, and to feel good about myself, now. I remember the days I didn’t feel good about myself. I don’t want to go back there. Knowing what I want to avoid and what I want to look forward to is what keeps me going. So I guess that is my motivation. I just need to keep remembering ‘why’. Do you have a plan that keeps you going whether you feel like it or not? If you need some support building stronger healthy habits for your fitness and nutrition, comment below or send a DM and we can chat. I’d love to help. . If you know someone who may need this, please share.

Squats are an exercise we can do anytime, anywhere. A set of 8 in the kitchen. Another set of 8 brushing your teeth! Ok. You get my point. I love Bodyweight exercises. They use multiple muscle groups at the same time (very efficient) and engage the core at the same time (very practical and effective). They can also be done anywhere without equipment, or with added resistance if we have it. Squats are a very practical and effective exercise for improving daily movement. Using... multiple large muscles in our legs helps us burn more calories. Since everyone is at a different stage in their fitness ability choose an option that’s comfortable and one that’s a little bit challenging. Squats work the quads and glutes (good deal!) Please remember, that when you are just starting with any exercise, form is more important than the number of reps or how 'hard' you make it. If you haven't already perfected a certain movement pattern, focus on the movement itself and feeling stable and comfortable. Work on making that movement 'as pretty as possible' or perfecting the movement, before you ever add weights to it. Okay? Do as many as you can with stability and good form. 1 Goblet Squat often easier because toes angle out with legs wider than shoulder-width. Arms can be extended in front for easier balance or held close to body as is done when holding a weight (more challenging) 2 Front Squat with Arm Raise Toes face front with legs hip-width apart; Arms help counterbalance the weight of our hips behind. Bring your arms closer to body to add challenge. 3 Prisoner Squat challenging because arms are raised and behind head, bringing upper body weight further back. Focus on shoulders looking forward and not down. Let me know if you’re trying them now! Comment below if you like squats!
