Hello there, Squat Stars!
As the amber leaves start to fall, we’re here to introduce you to a challenge that will have you rising (quite literally) to new heights! Welcome to the Squat-tober Challenge — a glorious 31 days where we bid farewell to summer laziness and hello to autumn vigor. This October, we dare you to embrace the squat, that classic exercise that works wonders on your lower body, giving you the kind of buns that even a baker would be jealous of!
Step Right Up, Beginners and Pro Squatters Alike!
Whether you’re a squat newbie or a seasoned pro, the Squat-tober Challenge is designed for every booty. With a gradual build-up from a friendly 20 squats on day one to a glorious 135 on day 31, there’s room for everyone to grow. Fear not, our squat squad will be taking regular rest days to avoid the dreaded burnout and keep those spirits soaring high!
The Squatty Perks
Besides sculpting a derrière worthy of its own Instagram following, did you know squats are a powerhouse move that works out your entire lower body? Yes, indeed! Your quads, hamstrings, and calves all get a piece of the squat action, not to mention a lovely core engagement for that added stability. Oh, and let’s not forget the calorie-burning bonus that comes with muscle toning. It’s a full package deal, darling!
The Squatting Styles
Let’s keep things spicy, shall we? The Squat-tober Challenge encourages you to play around with different squat variations as you advance through the month. One day it’s the classic squat, and the next, you could be diving into the world of goblet squats, sumo squats, or even the illustrious pistol squat for the brave at heart. It’s a month-long squat party, and every squat’s invited!
Tips to Squat By
As you venture into this squat spectacle, remember the golden rules: keep that back straight, descend like royalty settling onto their throne, and rise like a phoenix, strong and graceful. And don’t be a stranger to hydration; drink water like it’s your job because, during October, it kind of is!
