Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. | - Hippocrates | | | Workout of the Day | | | | Weighted Chair Squats | Chair squats are fantastic for overall lower body strength and posture. Adding weight can increase the intensity and enhance strengthening.
• Step 1: Sit at the front of a chair with your hands together at neck level. To add weight, hold a dumbbell or a large can. • Step 2: While keeping your head up, slowly stand while pushing your hips forward. • Step 3: Slowly move back into the starting position. When squatting, stick your bottom out so your knees don't move much ahead of your feet. • Step 4: This counts as 1 repetition. Try to perform 3 sets of 15 repetitions. You can experiment with the number of sets and repetitions to see what works best for you. | | | Exercise Your Brain | | | | | |
