travelstrong.net/squat-challenge/
The Counter Balance Box Squat: The counterbalance box squat is simply a basic squat, but done to a surface like a chair or stool. You use your arms as a counterbalance to make the exercise easier, and the surface as a way of measuring your depth. Don’t sit down on the surface; touch your butt to it to make sure you are going to the same depth with each rep. You can make box squats easier by using a higher surface, or harder by using a lower surface.

I did one of these last summer. And an ab challenge. I have done nothing since.
Aka. I'm in.

I suck at these things, but I definitely need to do something. I will give it a go, and hopefully I do better than the damn book challenge last year. Like I didn't read one flipping book...le sigh...

INNNNNN. I may to the intermediate one. Bulgarian split squats are amazingly awful.

I need to Google the difference between these two squats. The names mean nothing.

Also, fun fact: I've been doing squats wrong most of my life. Turns out years of ballet make it really hard to remember to push your butt that far away from your knees. I'll be doing this challenge just to get new muscle memory.

I retract my previous statement that squats don't do anything for me. I just did a new video Tues and today with some jump squats and lunges and I am definitely feeling it.

I will also be taking full body measurements and pictures as I start my physical therapy again. It's full body so. I'm hoping to see some muscle.
