Not your Average Squat - Bodyweight Training 062

in #sports7 years ago

It doesn't make sense to continue doing the same thing, if it is something different you want to see! Doing hundreds of squats is boring and eventually your body will adapt to the same repetitions of movement, resulting in a plateau that will stall your progress.
Think of it like a postal carrier that spends their work day walking, yet they remain overweight. Their body has become climatized by the same activity and in order to see any difference they must start doing a different exercise. For example Increasing the intensity, adjusting the number of reps, changing the pace of your reps (fast or slow) and performing the same exercise in this case a squat but making a change in how you are performing that exercise.
Toe squats are a bodyweight exercise that puts focus on keeping the entire lower body engaged throughout the range of motion while activating the core through balance training. This exercise is best performed with continuous flowing reps as it assists in balance and full body movement. You will be on your toes, as the name suggests for the entire exercise, this will activate your entire lower body. Taking advantage of moving your arms will greatly assist you in remaining stable and balanced while you are working.

I've prepared a video demonstration for to share with you so you can see how this exercise is performed and I'd like to encourage you to try it out for yourself during your next workout!
