Fitness Tips
- Always push from the HEAL of your foot when you are coming up out of the chair.
- Keep your stomach tight. This allows you to work your abs along with your butt. You will also burn more calories and increase your stability.
- For the advanced: don’t hold onto the chair. This will make the exercise harder and more challenging.
- For The Pros: add weights to the exercise and don’t hold onto the chair.
Use this one leg squat at least once to twice a week. You will begin to see results FAST. Make sure that the repetitions on each leg are the same. If you have one leg that is weaker then the other, give it time to catch up.
