Found a beginner squat challenge online that I would like to try. I found this challenge here.

Here are the official rules, taken from the blog:

      • You will do a different squat variation each week for a month. The variations get more difficult as the month progresses.
      • Each day has a target number or reps for which you should aim. You can do them all in one go or spread them out throughout the day.
      • If you fail to reach the target number of reps with perfect form you must go back to the beginning of that 7 day period.
      • You may not have heard of each variation, so how to do them properly is explained below.

The challenge features 4 types of squats:

  1. counter balance box squat
  2. prisoner box squat
  3. counter balance air squat
  4. prisoner air squat

To find out how to correctly do each variation, you can click through the above link for step-by-step directions.

Happy squatting!

It's my first day trying a counter-balance air squat for this challenge. It's like the first week's squat, but in the air instead of over a chair.
