Speed Squats

Stand with your feet flat and positioned slightly more than hip-width apart. Cross your arms over your chest and align your head with your upper body. Slowly squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor or as close to parallel as you can comfortably get them. Keep your torso straight and don't let your knees extend over your toes. Perform this exercise as quickly as possible using the proper form.

GOAL: 3 sets of 25 followed by 1 slow set of 10 with a 2 second pause at the bottom.

CHALLENGE: If you want to and difficulty, you can use bands by placing them under your feet with the handles held shoulder high. Be sure the bands are placed behind the elbows. Have fun!
