Ok so you inspired me to have another look at squats. One of my least favourite exercises because my knees hate me (âlift with your kneesâ they said, âsave your backâ they said). I thought, thereâs got to be a way to do it without trashing your knees. That led me to a short video which really helped. I did all the things that Dr said and now I can (carefully) do squats! Very excited to join you on your squat challenge!

Doing an informal squat challenge this month and today was my first round with weighted squats in a while. Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow. Do enjoy that a bar makes it easier to keep form but ow ow ow ow ow ow.

I love this!!! Also, thanks for the video, thatâs super helpful for Boyo. Hope your legs donât ache too much today! I do them in blocks of 10 or 20 if Iâm too tired or sore.

Please share your squat challenge!
I did squats today too as well as a full workout and am quite tired now.

Itâs just 56 squats a day for the 56 women diagnosed with breast cancer daily. Meant to be a fund-raiser, hence the doing it informally. Iâve been slack with my squats lately so thought it would be a good way to get back into it. Did it with 20kgs bar today and, well, youâve seen the ows.
