Workout: 6 minutes of squatting here, there and everywhere

[CBDB]

🕯1st Advent Workout 1: we didn’t quite “jump” out of bed, but we had actually gotten quite excited to try the 6 min of Holiday Squat Challenge (to the music of All I Want For Christmas Is You!🎶).

😹It’s short, sweet and so much fun, and I didn’t know how many different ways you could do squats! Specifically the deep wide squat where you then stand on your toes ... 😱.. yeah, that one!

🏋️So there was a lot of groaning and laughing this morning in our living-room workout corner, but proudly I can say most of the groaning came from my husband. (But then he really squats deeply, whereas mine were slightly more shallow, but all ok ... we are all squatters now 😂)

I do squats often, as part of Pilates & my warm up before running- but different types is news to me too! 😄

Yeah, me too, but then I was a real beginner. Let me know what you think of the 6min festive video! 😄👍🏽

[Elfe5 in reply to CBDB]

It won’t play on my phone, so I will have to look on the computer later when Mr E is not hogging it! 😂

Oh what a shame! I have by now found my perfect setup.

We set up a second tv screen we had in the workout corner and I can connect my Iphone to the TV via an HDMI-lightning link (airplay with cable).

So hope you find a great solution. Let me know if there’s anything tech I might be able to help with, I’m ok with tech.

[Elfe5 in reply to CBDB]

I will definitely remember that 🤗🤗 - a techie guru is essential in our household! 😂

De nada 👍

[Elfe5 in reply to roseabi]

Ah many thanks xx

Ok, I have watched it now. 👍🏻Lots of fun. For myself (with memories of my recent star jumps injury 🙄)I might use it moving at half speed for a gradual build up of the squats that would be new to me, (plié & side squats) - I have remembered that I am no longer 39 this time!! 😂

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Elfe5]

😂 yes. My husband and I had good fun doing these this morning, but his squats were much deeper than mine. But than I wasn’t the person groaning all the way through! 😂😂 But being a “shallower squatter” allowed me to pace myself to what I can do. Side squats are quite challenging for my knees. 👍🏽👏🦵

I've popped over from the Bridge to check this out, and much as I enjoyed watching, I quickly realised it would be foolish to try to keep up, so I just did my usual! (I was also very glad I'd already warmed up before launching in ). Happy squatting, bendy types!

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Oh well done! Yes, it is a bit fast. I also did not squat quite as deep on some of the squats. I can't go deep with feet closer together, for instance. Great to welcome you popping over to the S&F.

Sounds like great fun and exercise too! Will certainly have a go. Thanks for info. 👍
