Queen of Squats Workout est 16 min
2013
This squats workout is the last workout for the week long squat challenge of 1000 squats, and this fun workout has the last 200 reps. For this one you alternate doing 20 reps of squats with different bodyweight exercises. Mostly bodyweight that is, there are 2 Swiss ball exercises to change it up and make it a little more fun. I will give alternatives for if you don’t have a Swiss ball. I thought this was a really great workout to break up the squats and make them go by fast. The whole workout seemed to go by fast and it is another great way to get lots more squats into your life and shape those legs and butt!

Hamstring Curls with Swiss ball – Do a Bridge exercise instead. Here is a One Leg Bridgeexercise with feet elevated (you can elevate or not), do 20 reps on each leg or have both legs down on ground or elevated and do 20 reps total.

Exercise Descriptions
Stand with legs shoulder width apart and squat down so that thighs are parallel with ground and then come back up to standing. Throughout the movement keep weight on the heel of the foot. Make sure that your knee never goes beyond toe. Most of your weight will be in back, so lean forward or reach out arms to counter the weight.
Start in a forward lunge position, a low wide walking stance with front leg bent and back leg straight, and simultaneously jump up switching feet so that legs are in opposite positions, the one that was behind is forward and bent, and the one that was forward is now behind. Continue jumping and alternating positions of legs and feet. Each jump is one rep.
From standing position, bend knees into squat and reach down touching fingers to sides of feet. Then with an explosive jump, come up into a jumping jack, jumping legs out wide while and bringing arms out at sides and above head, then jump feet back in close together, coming down into squat and touching sides of feet again. This is one rep. Continue repeating movements doing as many reps as indicted or as many reps as you can for time.
Lying face up on exercise mat with legs on ground and arms extended on ground above head, hold Swiss ball between feet and raise legs up, with Swiss ball between feet until legs are at 90 degrees and bottoms of feet are facing ceiling, reach up and take Swiss ball in hands and simultaneously lower Swiss ball back to ground behind head keeping arms fully extended throughout movement and legs also kept fully extended back down to ground. Then again simultaneously lifting arms, holding Swiss ball, and legs up until both are at center position extended out towards ceiling, Grab Swiss ball between feet and lower down to ground while simultaneously lowering outstretched arms back to ground overhead. Continue alternating movements passing the ball from feet to hands and back to feet and so on. Each time the ball touches the ground is one rep.
Jump one leg up towards the same side hand, then simultaneously jump that leg back and your other leg up by other hand, jump a 3rd time bringing leg that is up back and back leg up and then do a push up with one leg bent and foot on ground near hand. This is one rep. Repeat jumping 3 times in a similar manner and this time ending with the opposite leg up towards hand and do a push up. Continue doing these push ups so that every push up is done with the opposite foot up higher on the ground.
Knee to Elbow Double Twist Crunch
Lay back on mat with knees bent and hands behind head, bring torso up towards knees and twist body to one side bringing one elbow to opposite knee, twist torso and bring other elbow to its opposite knee and then return to start position with head and elbows on ground. This is one rep.
Hamstring Curls with Swiss ball
Lying on back put shins up on Swiss ball and using legs roll it in towards you until your feet are on ball, lift your butt as you roll it in and bring the ball in close to your body, just under butt and then roll it back out to start position, bringing torso and butt back to the ground.
From standing position step right foot further out to the right side and do a side lunge, the right (outer) leg is bent and your left leg stays straight, then step back to center. Now step in opposite direction and do a lunge with the other leg, and return. Alternate sides for each rep
Get into high plank (push up) position, then bring one leg in towards chest, bending knee and with foot on ground; this is your start position. Simultaneously jump the bent forward leg back and the back leg forward alternating and jumping legs back and forth while keeping torso of body as straight as possible while performing these movements. Each time a leg jumps forward counts as one rep.
Lie on mat with legs lifted and straight at a 90 degree angle from body, with arms outstretched from body on ground, lift butt up off ground and then bring arms up to touch toes and then bring arms back down to ground. This is one rep. Continue alternating lifting your butt up and crunching up to touch toes.
